question about labor signs and bowel movements?
read a lot online about women experiencing diarrhea before they went into labor. well when i got up this morning and used the bathroom it was soft stool and a lot of it. i haven’t had a bowel movement in about a week and ever since i began pregnancy it had always been the hard balls (lol TMI i know) i was wondering if this is my bodies way of cleansing itself compared to other women who experienced diarrhea? any experiences to share? how long after did you go into labor? i am 39 weeks

i personally havent experienced this, but it is a very common labor sign. because youre 39 weeks its most likely a labor sign. though your stomach does go threw alot and has to act back one way or another. good luck hope all goes well.
It sounds like what i experienced with my 3 labours. i didn’t get the usual idea of diahorrea, just very soft stools (oh the lovely things women talk about eh? lol). It lasted about a day, a few times of going to the toilet and I went into labour 2 or 3 days later.
Good luck!
I got the diarreah 3 days before I had my daughter. That night I also lost my mucis plug and was having mild contractions. Sounds like things are progressing for you. Good luck!!
