39 weeks pregnant & labour symptoms have stopped

[sasscass]

Anybody else have loose bowel movements/diarrhoea near labour which ceased? I had more frequent bowel movements for several days, which turned into diarrhoea and I thought she was going to come but the bowel movements have stopped now.

It isn’t anything to do with what I’ve ate, if anything, change in diet for me causes the opposite problem 😩

is it possible that my body has had enough of a clear out for her arrival?

Bumping for you.
I have no idea. I had the same. Very loose stools throughout the day for a few days. Very unusual for me.
Then it stopped for a day. And then started again yesterday. I'm also 39 weeks.

Very possibly! It’s so hard not to assume/hope that everything your body does in those final few weeks is a sign of labour. I think weeks 37 onwards are torture. Fingers crossed baby doesn’t keep you waiting too long.
