Labor Signs!

Hi Everyone! 

I am a FTM and have been having menstrual like cramping and diarrhea for the last few days. Wondering if everyone is having the same thing? Does this mean that labor is coming soon? I'm anxious and excited for our little boy to arrive :)

  • Some people have those things happen before labor. Some don't have any signs other than contractions or water breaking. I'm a FTM so I have no personal experience....Sorry, but I don't think you will find much serious support here..
  • I had those things before I was pregnant lol labor is coming, just forget about it and the time will fly
  • I think it just comes with the territory of late third trimester.. I'm a FTM though so I can't really speak from experience, but from what I've read the only real signs are water breaking and timed contractions.
  • Also a FTM and I've been having the constant diarrhea (oh fun) but my midwife says its just out bodies getting ready for labor. I've had a few painful BH contractions but that's it.
  • There are about a gozillion threads that say the exact same thing. Please use the search function.


  • Those could be signs but they are most likely just standard third trimester fun.  The only dependable signs of labour are your water breaking and consistent contractions.  
  • I've had those too and only 1 centimeter dilated. Doubt it means she is coming soon since its been happening for about a week now. :/
