Diarrhea Before Labor - Has It Happened To You??

OMG! You and I were living in parallel universes last night! I'm 37w5d and I was cramping/had stomach upset and had 3 bouts of diarrhea. I was having BH contractions and then what I though were real contractions later on...no such luck. I jumped on the internet and in "What to Expect..." which all said that it's a sign. Oh, please Lord, let it be! Unfortunately, I'm not in labor yet (I think-heehee) but I hope you get some responses from people who've had the same experiences as us and went into labor within a couple days. If I go, I'll let you know....GL! |

Oops...let me clarify....I know you said you wanted to go a little longer, and it IS best if you're 36 weeks to hang in there a little longer. I'm just so physically miserable with this pregnancy (and now I have a lovely cold on top of that) that I'm ready to rock and roll! |

Well, i do hope for you it was a sign of labor starting, I know how you feel, I want to go into labor and I don't want to, ya'know! I've been preparing and preparing so I feel "ready" - as ready as possible - but at the same time, I'm still a bit early and I had plans for the next two weeks that i really would like to keep! Anyway, I hope I get some responses from people either way, b/c it would be nice to get an idea of how common this is! good luck to you! |

Morning ladies. I did have diarrhea before going into labor with Erin, like right before (we're talking hours here), it's your bodies way of cleaning things out before the big push, however don't get your hopes up (or down as it may be), it could be just diarrhea unfortunately. |

In early labor I had about 6 bowel movements. Probably within a couple hours. It was not diarrhea, but they were definitely softer than normal. Diarrhea can be a sign of labor. Hope your little one doesn't decide to come out too soon! |

I had diarrhea a couple of hrs before my contractions started. I woke up at 4am with menstral-like cramping, had diarrhea, bloody show and then the contractions started 2-3mins apart. My water then broke. |

Thanks ladies! Ugh, i hope it was just something I ate. I did have alot of fruit yesterday! Well, I was having contractions this morning - menstral cramps, all that!! But now it weems to have subsided. No bloody show - no waters breaking - so I think maybe it was just diarrhea. But three people today said that i have dropped and potruded since Friday when they last saw me. I haven't gained any weight so it must be that he has really lowered into position now. I have an appointment at 4pm, so we'll see what the doctor says! Thanks again. |

Barb... You said you had an appt yesterday at 4pm and am wondering what's happening! Come update when you get a chance, k! :-) |

I had a couple days of diarrhea back when I was about 28 weeks and nothing came from it. Must have just been a bug. I'm 34 week along now. |

I forgot to mention.....diarrhea can be very dehydrating, which can cause contractions, so keep yourself well hydrated or you might end up in labor anyway, and not in a very healthy state for labor. |

Thanks! I guess it was something I ate, becasue I am not in labor, and not having diarrhea anymore! Both are good things, I have been feeling better and since I am only 36 weeks, 2days, I am not quite ready to have this baby yet anyway! MEGS - if you should pop back on, I will stop over and say hi to you all from home, i cannot access piczo or many other sites from work anymore! |
