TMI: anyone have diarrhea right before labor started?

I've had really no issues with the bathroom during the pregnancy, now all of a sudden, two days ago, I started having diarrhea and it's been going on since then. It's not horrible, but I'm going a few times a day. I know diarrhea can signify labor starting soon, just wondering if anyone experienced this? Sorry for TMI. I know it can mean nothing, but I just thought it was odd that all of a sudden after having no issues, I'm having this.

  • my doctor poo-poo'd this (hahahaa) when I asked that question, but a swear but three days later I was in labor.
  • I started having diarrhea at 2AM, water broke at 4:30 and I gave birth at 10:16. So yup - I'm a believer.

  • I did right after my contractions started becoming painful. That was quite the experience, let me tell you.
  • I did once around 9pm on monday. I had made egg plant parm for dinner that same night and then my water broke around 1:30am tues morning so yea, it could be a sign.

    FWIW, my mom & grandmother both had diarrhea just before going into labor. My sister was induced & had no signs of labor including diarrhea.

  • Not really diarrhea but I did have to 'go' a lot more the day I was in labor and I had been so constipated throughout my pregnancy.  That was the only thing that made me see the difference between BH and real contractions.  That and the cramping...

  • I woke up with diarrhea and cramps the day I went into labor.  I had no signs up until that day.
  • I asked this same question a week ago!  I had diarrhea for 4 days straight, and my water broke on the 5th day.   The 1st day I was having it, my OB told me it was a sign of early labor. 
  • I had it too the day before delivery..

    BUT the real reason I wanted to post is to tell you I love the name Gianna :)
