Diarrhea and labour

Those of you who have posted previously about having diarrhea - did you end up going into labour after?
I’m trying to workout whether I should be terrified or not 🙃.

I didn’t, I had a few days of it and now it’s stopped…

Certainly no reason to be terrified. Honestly labour doesn't have to be scary or even interpreted as painful if you can practice mindfully embracing each surge as a healthy sign of baby getting closer.

Anyway I did have some diarrhea this time last week and thought every night since that I was getting signs that night would be the night. I stopped getting signs on Friday... Still waiting and today's my due date

I had mild diarrhea last week but still no labour. I'm now feeling like I need to poo constantly because the pressure is so intense but my poos are back to normal so there's no telling when it'll happen. I'm 38 + 2

Has anyone else had a complicated c section? I had an emergency c section Feb 2025 after making it to fulled dilated as they pulled him out they didn’t realised I had endo and scarring to the point all my organs were fused together so as they pulled him out they ripped the side of my uterus and the back of it as it was fused together the back wall! I had to be put to sleep before I seen my baby so they could take my uterus out and stitch me all back up…waking up I barely remember anything apart from how much pain I was in I couldn’t even hold my baby!
A month later I went back into hospital with sepsis, they opened my scar back up to drain it again so much pain and time away from my baby!
My boy is now 15mths old and I still have a turbo ovarian cyst the size of a grape, I’m still in pain daily 😫 there has to be someone out there with a story similar to mine?!

Rant

Just need to rant a bit, I’m 38 weeks and I’m in so much pain in my groin and my body feels so tight and swollen. My 4 year old is being so naughty lately and literally will do anything to annoy the life out of me and I’m sick of it! At my wits end, anyone else going through the same?

Struggling for a name

Im really struggling with a girls name i find one i like and she's called that for a few weeks then I go off it. Anyone got any suggestions for a girls name i have got a little boy called Henry. Her middle name is going to be Jayne. Thanks

Sudden exhaustion at 38 + 2

Has anyone else suddenly started feeling ridiculously exhausted? It started yesterday evening so I spent the evening watching films and doing a couple of very light exercises on my ball. And today I slept till 8am and now at 11am i'm already feeling like I need a nap. This is my 3rd baby and I never had this with any of the others at this stage, with my others it was more of a nesting spurt of energy.
