I'm 35 wks, 2cm dilated, 60% effaced (as of this past Wed). Friday the baby dropped. Same day the BH started (weird that they hadn't started before now). Pain is irregular and frequency is irregular. No back pain. Finally all afternoon/evening into this a.m. I've had the runs and have also felt nauseous.
I've read that runs/nausea is an early sign of labor. I didn't get either w DD1, but I'm curious: did you experience the runs? How long after did active labor start??
I'm curious to know too! I am 38w2d today. Last night I woke up to period like cramping and diarrhea but this morning I just have diarrhea. Dh thinks I just ate something bad.
I had diarrhea and nausea on and off the last few weeks of my pregnancies. I did have diarrhea during labor too, but not until contractions were going.
