diarrhoea and labour?

Yes this can be a sign that labour is around the corner. It is caused by a hormonal change which loosens muscles in preparation for labour. It is also your body’s way of emptying to make room to deliver your baby. I personally didn’t experience it but had to go to the loo several times during labour x

I started contractions and got diarrhoea a few hours later. So quite possible it's the start 😊

I had that labour symptom a week or more before delivering, it's different for everyone

I really don’t know the time scale between having these symptoms and going into labour, I’ve had constant loose stool for almost 3-4 weeks now and no baby yet, I’m 39+1 today, I think our bodies are just clearing out for when baby decides they’re ready to come 🥰 xx

I had what I thought was braxton hicks at 37+2 hadn’t had them at all in this pregnancy the next day I was running around as usual with a 3yr old an work etc keep going to the toilet was really lose then 7pm that night I realised what I though was braxton hicks was really early labour an she was born at 4.42 the next morning at 37+4 she was the only one I had it with so it could be early labour

I’ve been constipated the last two weeks and finally had diarrhea this morning lol fingers crossed it means I’ll be in labor soon ! I’ll let you know !🤞🏼 also baby is moving so much as I’m typing that or Braxton hicks 😬

Yep that was me - but several days before!!

I had diarrhoea for the week leading up to my labour. Its the body way of clearing out for baby to move down..
