Hi all
Has anyone experienced the following close to labour?
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with #2 (had a planned section with #1 and never had any symptoms)
Last night I got sick 2/3 times, had terrible gas pain (to the point I thought it was contractions) and Diarrhoea last night and this morning. Now my lower back is really aching making it difficult to walk. Dr Google suggests these could be signs labour is coming…? I’m not convinced it’s something I ate as me and my husband ate the same food at a christening yesterday…
Im supposed to have another section 3 weeks today, but baby is measuring small all of a sudden (10th centile) I have a scan Thursday so will know the plan then… just concerned labour is. Going to start on its own?
Ive also been losing bits of my mucus plug for weeks now but no bloody show/waters…

Many thanks in advance

Ring your midwives, they'll check you out and put your mind at rest (or bring forward the c-section).

Probably also worth doing a covid test, vomit and diarrhoea are more of a symptom with the latest type

Good luck!

Do you think so? I’m seeing my midwife Wednesday anyway, don’t want to be dramatic… but maybe you’re right?
I went into PAU on Thursday evening because I felt a change in strength of movements, CTG was fine though so I feel a little silly!
