sorry if tmi but
is it normal to have the runs pretty bad at this stage (going about 4 times aday and er... 'very loose')
havent taken anything for it, and im not seeing my midwife till thursday and ive had it now for maybe a week or so.

shud i make a doc appointment or is it just normal?
 
Hiya

to be honest i don't know but it sounds like you have a tummy bug i would go to the docters though to be on the safe side or ask the nurse to call you

it can be normal. your bodies way of flushing out the system ready for the big event.
 
yes, when i had cameron it was normal, its your bodys way of saying baby will be arriving soon, its clearing out ready for the big day,

if your worried though do speak to your MW :hug: :hug: :hug:

Yep i agree i think your having a "clear out"!!!!

that was so wierd i was just going to post about this same topic, i am 39 weeks today and have just gone to toilet and it was really runny when i just pumped it came out :oops:

and as the other girls said, i think its a clear out, as i think mine is, if mine is for the same reason, i'm scared!!!!!!!!!!!! :|
 
hi hun i had this for a week before kieron arrived and i was told it was a good sign
 
Yeah its supposed to be a good sign things are moving along nicely! :D I havent had this much yet, but i did have it with Jaycee in the last week :D
Not long now hun!! :dance:
 
Just wanted to send some :hug: rachelandjarvis, no personal experience of it but would say to drink lots of water to keep hydrated while you're going through this stage :hug:
 
Ive had a bit of this too! (unfortunately lol) Not everytime but on and off, yesterday i thought it was cos id eaten too many biscuits tho lol :oops:

Im hoping its my baby getting me ready but I still dont feel ready for labour, like i feel as tho the pregnancy needs more time if that makes sense :?

I still cant believe ive only a few days left!
 
yes, went to antenatal class and they said this is a sign of things happening soon. can be first sign of labour also!

I've had this almost all the way through my pregnancy. The MW said it's just the hormones and they affect they are having on me.

If you haven't had it all the way through, and are just having it now though it's generally a sign things are moving to a conclusion like the other ladies have said.

How exciting! :)
