Crampy and soft bowels
Woke up this morning feeling a little bit crampy, still feeling crampy. It’s not bad at all but can definitely feel it. I’m not sure if it’s contractions or not. My bowels have been really really soft today almost like diarrhea when I wipe TMI sorry.
And baby seems to be moving around lower in belly usually feet are next to my left rib but feeling movement near belly button and below. Normal? Are these signs of labor? Am I over thinking? The cramping is in my hips sometimes in the front, doesn’t last long but comes often.

I am 36 weeks and 5 days btw
Seeing as you’ve not quite hit the 37 week mark I’d definitely suggest going in to be checked especially with the loose stools and cramping as that’s how labour usually starts. I went in at 34 weeks with this and they checked my cervix and it was still closed but obviously anywhere now I’d go get checked just for the reassurance xx
So I went in Monday for cramping and my cervix was closed, and they checked for any leaking and there wasn’t anything. I went yesterday for a nst and they saw a few contractions. Now today with the loose stools I did wake up nauseous and crampy. The nausea went away now it’s just cramping here and there and the loose stools
I’m 36 weeks today. Also have had mild uterine cramping that is also affecting my bowels. I’ve read mild to moderate cramping around this time is normal as long as it’s not sustained 🤷🏼♀️.
