As above, not sure if I’m getting desperate for baby to appear but I’ve been to the loo three times today for soft stools (not diarrhoea but came out quickly sorry for tmi). Is this a sign of labour soon or just one of those things that’s expected? Three times is a lot I think...

I read this as you having done 39+2 so 41 stools! Thought it would be a lot!

No expertise to share but good luck and hope it all goes super smoothly

I got this from about 2 weeks before DS2 was born. I was hoping everything was a sign as I was impatient lol.

It can be yes so make sure your bag's packed but also it might not be so don't get too excited lol.

Oh nooo I can’t bear the thought of waiting another almost three weeks 🙈

It was for me. I had it the day before my ds was born. He was two weeks early. I didn't realise it was a sign until afterwards. Fingers crossed for you.

I've had this for the past couple of weeks, am 39+4 today and still no sign of baby. That and some very mild cramping have been my only signs (if they even are signs)... I'm putting it down to baby needing space in there and so my body providing it by going often to the loo haha. Also desperate for baby to come!!

It was for me! Mine came at 39+1 and I definitely naturally cleared out the night of.
