Hello!

I was wondering if anyone else is getting this? So I feel sick most of the day, and I have loose stools (tmi) but I can't wait where I have to run to toilet every day day the moment! Just have a really upset tummy, is anyone else experiencing this at this point in pregnancy?
Thanks xx

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yes I am - pretty much exactly the same dates as you as well.

I keep hoping it’s a sign of things starting but no luck so far!

I'm exactly the same gestation as you OP and I've also had this on and off. Get the odd contraction which leads to it!

Makes a difference from being bunged up!

@NP2705 @ILookAtTheFloor Ahh it's annoying isn't it as I keep thinking oh maybe this is a sign of things kick starting but nothing!

Keep me updated if anything happens with you two 🥰

I'm due 28th august! Xx

It can be because of less room as baby is so big, also a change in hormones loosening everything up ready for labour. It can also be a sign that labour is near as your body clears everything out so baby can move easier through the birth canal. As incredible as it is carrying and birthing a baby, there is no part of it that is glamorous 😂

@emlouba we are due on the same day!

hope you’re not too uncomfortable apart from the upset tummy 🤞🏻

I had 6 days worth at 37 weeks, long enough to convince me it was a bug. Then it stopped about an hour before my waters went, so fingers crossed for you!

@PickledScrump No literally nothing glam about being pregnant at these last moments 😂 my feet look like hobbits feet too, I look lovely 😂
Hopefully this is a sign labour is near! Feeling very fed up! Xx

@NP2705 ahh how lovely- are you getting any other signs? Apart from upset tummy? My feet have gone 3 times as big as usually are - so much liquid has gone there! I get some mild cramps here and there too xx

@Tr1845 oh really!! I'm hoping this is a sign things are coming! I may get on my ball tonight and eat lots of pineapple lol xx
