Bug or impending labor?

AvidVertigo · May 2013

I have literally pooped over 6 times in the last 24 hours. Started off constipated, then turned into loose. I haven't felt the best, so maybe I have a bug? I swear I have had to have dropped 5lbs!!! I also hear this is a sign of impending labor, but she is still sitting high, so I am going to go with the I have a bug.

I've had that going on for a few hours now too. I also had timeable contractions earlier but they have subsided now. No idea what it is though, lol.

Hard to say, but could be!! Either way who knew pooping could be so exciting! ;

Well at 33 weeks I'd probably hope it was a bug and not labor.

I was feeling super uncomfortable last night, but I was probably backed up now that I think about it. LOL.

You have no idea....I've been having a hard time eating this weekend.

Yes, agreed. She's a big girl, but I would rather her stay put at least 4.5 more weeks!! We have NOTHING ready in our house. Mostly with everything going on with my mom, it's been hard to get anything done the last 6 weeks.

I would guess a bug. Or at least hope since you're not even 34 weeks! I've had a bug all weekend with vomiting and diarrhea. Not fun at all.

I've been pooping a lot more than normal as well. It's a nice change from not being able to poop at all though.

My guess would be a bug, or your body is ridding itself of all the "back up." I know that when I've been backed up for a day or so, once I actually "go" it's very loose for a day or so. But, you never know...you could be getting ready to have the kiddo!

Yeah, the last couple of days have been interesting. I think Scarlett may have dropped just a tad. Lots of comments about me looking uncomfortable at work today.

I remember the night I went into PTL with my DS1 I had bad diarrhea.. And I remember thinking I had heard that somewhere too. I was all ready having back pain and contractions at the time though.
