Hi so I had diarrhoea a few days ago and thought this might be nearly my time for labour but since then I’ve been constipated, my stomachs been cramping a bit and I can feel my stomach is hurting because I need to go but every time I go to the toilet my body just acts like I don’t need to go :( just want some some tips on how to relieve this or if anyone is in the same boat, I keep getting period like cramps as well but I think that’s just because of me being constipated rather then the slow start of labour :(

I’m 38+2 and been the exact same!! It’s horrible isn’t it

Think it might be dehydration from the heat - I had a load of pears and dates and about 3 litres of water yesterday and feel much better x hang in there!
it’s horrendous!! Xx
oh really! That would make sense, I will try and eat some more fiber and chug some water! Xx
