Hi ladies.
Is it true that when your nodus getting ready for labour you may get a bit of diarreah? I have a really bad stomach this morning with cramps as well but I think they might just be braxton hicks. I have the midwife in a couple of hours so I will ask her too just wondered of anyone else knew? Thanks x

I've heard this too but I didn't have it with DD x

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I had it afew days before I had DD! Also spend alot of my labour on the loo needing a poo but then relised it was the baby coming lol

 

[bearsmummy]

Oh god!! Hopefully i just had a bad stomach cos i feel better now. xx

I have read this somewhere, something to do with your body preparing for labour/birth

I've just been to an antenatal class and they said this can be a sign of early labour, along with sickness, although no reason not to keep eating and drinking to keep your energy up! How did you get on at the MW??

Don't know about this but it seems ^^^^ it could be a sign, hope things went well with mw x

 

[Mamafy]

Urgh the usual with the midwife she is quite half soaked. I mentioned it and she said I'd likely eaten something that hadn't agreed with me even though I haven't had anything different and I've had to spend most my day in bed feeling sick. Also my irons low so I'm now on tablets but no body bothered to ring me and tell me I needed them after my prescription was written over a week ago! Urghhhh! Lol xxx

Don't know if this is any help, but my mums had five, and she has the runs a few weeks before labour every time. I just asked her there and she says she thinks it was maybe just everything moving into place and body flushing out all the bad stuff before baby is born. (Thats what her midwife says) xx Hope all is well! xx I wouldnt worry xxx

I had loose stools before I had my kids about two weeks before hand x

funny you brought that up. last week, out of the blue i got hit with it and my cousin had said something about your body clearing out before labour. i thought she was pulling my leg but maybe not. wonder if there is truth in it then?
