36+ 3 days pregnant, had a mucus plug show on sunday morning,woke up this morning with what i thought was the start, however they have tailed off, and i have had to bouts of diarreah?

i have 2 other children, both born @ 39+2 days. And never had a show on them, not that i remember, neither did i have diarreah, however on child one i did have a little accident while pushing her out. im not sure what to make from this the last couple of days. And the fact im only just over the 36 weeks period. im worried she is going to be to early, given my other 2 were full term.

not sure but can't you have a show potentially weeks before the event? will have a google for you when I have the chance

you can have a show up to a couple of weeks before labour starts but this is quite uncommon in subsequent pg's

Diarroeah is very common when labour is about to start also.

Call your labour ward and speak to mw, pop in to get checked if you are in any way worried.

How are you? Is baby moving well? You feeling ok, no temp or strong braxton hicks?

I'd call in and go and get checked out if possible.

I certainly started like you with my DS2; two bouts of diahorrea and a bit of show. I had been getting increasingly stronger BHs for weeks though. Have you had any braxton hicks?

Try not to worry too much about being early as by 36+3 the baby will be a decent size already. Im pretty sure the suck reflex is developed around the 35 weeks mark as well.
