Labor Signs

tabbyjohnson · March 2015

So, I've been experiencing very bad diarrhea for the last couple days is contractions. I read on another website that diarrhea may be a sign of going into labor soon. Has any one else heard of this?

I experienced this at the start of labor. I also had lots of lower back pain/pressure that accompanied the contractions which is how I knew it was different than BH contractions.

I've been having diarrhea for about two weeks and no baby.

I haven't had diarrhea exactly but a lot of pooping and for awhile it was green. Now it's back to normal. Wonder if our systems are just clearing.

Never heard of that. Diarrhea cause contractions, not via versa.

My dr actually told me that the spasms your gut goes through with diarrhea can cause contractions, so when I was fighting a stomach bug he wanted me to take lomotil (also for dehydration risks).

I'm 36 weeks today and I have been having loose stools for a week now and I go to the bathroom about 3-4 times a day. I've been drinking lots of water and trying to eat fiber rich foods but nothing is helping. Baby has also dropped (this happened last week) and I've been having BH and sharp pains a few times a day in the vaginal region. Sometimes when I stand up (from laying down) it feels like there is a lot of pressure inside my butt region.

I have a feeling this is only the beginning of the 9th month of fun! I'm glad that I've started my maternity leave and can be at home, close to the bathroom and my bed!
