Mortified to be writing this but would just like to know if anything like this has happened to anyone else and if it means I could be nearing labour.
Last night I woke up around 2am and my underwear was wet, I thought my waters had gone but after getting up I had actually sh*t myself and it had gone everywhere. I didn’t even feel it or anything. It was just diarrhoea. I went and cleaned myself up obviously so embarrassed and thankful my partner had fallen asleep in the other room, changed my sheets showered etc. When I got back into bed I started having cramping and tightenings, a few over the space of 15 minutes and my baby was moving like CRAZY to the point it hurt. I fell back to sleep and woke up again an hour later with diarrhoea again (made it to the toilet this time) and today I have had diarrhoea again a couple of times and more contractions, but they’re very little and don’t last long.
I have no signs of a tummy bug, feel well in myself otherwise but I am 38+1 and wondering if this could be the start of things as I’ve read women often have a ‘clear out’ before labour. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Feel free to laugh at my misfortune!
