36+5 Cramps and Loose Bowel *TMI*

[ohdearymemumof3]

Helloo everyone, i feel like iv posted far too many threads recently but hey ho🙈 i am 36+5 and for the past couple days i have been getting bad period like cramps then i go to the toilet and my poo is "mushy" 🤢 sorry tmi. Not like watery but not what id call normal! Then the cramps go after iv been toilet. Is this normal i cant remember. Is it a sigh labour is near?. Anyone else having this? X

Hey, I'm 35+3 and I'm having similar. I get a tummy ache, mainly mornings when I wake up but happens during they day too and then I go to the toilet and its not like diarrhea but very loose I'd say, then it goes. I just figured my body was processing my food quickly, no idea why. Didn't think it was a bad sign, would rather not be constipated! X

I had this for about 2 weeks before I had my son I think it's quite normal, hang in there not much longer! Good luck xx

Are you me?!?! Have been having same thing except more intense cramps which build for about 20 seconds and then I get this intense sensation I'm going to poo myself! Midwife was keen for me to call hospital but I don't think I'm in labour. She did say that poo does tend to get quite loose around this time of pregnancy so could just be that. Just going to keep an eye out for mucus plug or anything else which would indicate labour.
