Labor Signs?

I know that loose stools can be a sign of early labor but it is usually followed by labor right?  I am not yet 37 weeks and very early this AM I was up for two hours with cramping, back ache and loose stools.  It resolved and nothing today.  It is most likely NOT labor right?  I actually don't want it to be that is why I am asking.  Can dehydration cause that too?  I do think I am a little dehydrated.  TIA!

Praying this little one sticks!

Re: Labor Signs?

  • I thought getting the trots made you dehydrated, not the other way around.  I would guess if you aren't having any pains now, you probably just had a loose poop and that's all there is to it.  I had some "easier" poops over the last few weeks (such a relief after months of being constipated!) that didn't amount to anything.

  • Contractions can be caused from dehydration.  I had loose stools and cramping last night along with some puking and still not in active labor.

    Doesn't sound like it's labor for you.  Rest up and re-hydrate yourself and see if you feel any better.

  • Ugh, I too thought that was a sign of labor to come.... over 2 weeks ago! I was very disappointed it didn't end up leading to anything except random contractions for a few hours.

  • Ugh!  This is me the past 3 days!  I have had some cramping and backaches throughout the day but nothing consistent.  Lost my MP yesterday so I hope things are in the works!
