Bellyache before labour? And toilet more frequently- 39+2

[Ghost88]

Hi all,
Yesterday I felt sick most of the day and had a constant bellyache (not contractions) I went to the toilet 3 times (not diarrhoea but each one looser than the one before if that makes sense)

I normally only go once a day so I convinced myself maybe baby was on their way, but I have woke up this morning and feel absolutely normal again :(

Obsessing over every little symptom as I’m obviously completely fed up at this stage...

Did anyone else have this? Could it mean labours near???

I know I just need to relax but I can’t help get my hopes up that I will get to meet my little one any day now! And the anxiety of not knowing what day it will be is killing me. X

Yes that’s pretty common - it’s like your body is clearing out and getting ready for labour! So should be soon now. Good luck!

This has been happening to me for the last week! I’ve been being sporadically sick, having tummy ache like I’ve eaten something weird and going to the loo more often. I’ve not got a bug or eaten anything different so maybe it is things progressing! We shall see!
