Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea before labor?

ktcheramie · October 2015

Anyone else experiencing or has experienced nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea before labor or at the start of labor?
I'm expected to fall into labor within the next 2wks and have been having loose stools for a few days now and last night I started with nausea and vomiting along with other soon-to-be in labor symptoms. I'm not ruling out that this could be a virus but I've read it could also be a sign of labor. If so, I'm curious on how common this is.

I had nausea and diarrhea with my first child at the beginning of labor.

Nausea and diarrhea can be a normal 3rd trimester symptom.

I know every pregnancy is different but how long did you have it until going into actual labor?

DD1- Vomited once when I was 8cm.
This pregnancy I've have loose stools since 31w but last weekend (35w) it turned into terrible diarrhea - like I almost didn't make it to the bathroom multiple times bad. Vomited once last night but still nothing except annoying BH!

Mine was 3 days before her birth.

I had vomiting during labor, but not leading up to it. Pretty sure I was at least 8cm before that started. I didn't have any labor warning signs, just several nights of contractions getting closer together.

Weirdly I was actually pretty constipated before going into labour with DS.
Starting around my EDD, I would wake up between 3 & 4am every night to pee then I would experience cramps for an hour or two. On the big day, the cramps didn't subside, but gradually became more intense and a few hours later they had developed into real contractions.

My Dr told me I barfed my baby out. I vomited pretty much my whole labour.

Mine started a couple week ago where I get wicked bag constipation for 3 days and then really bad diarrhea for a few days. This has been cycling since my 33rd week. Went to doctors for the first round, they said it was likely nothing. Last week, I had a full night of vomiting and diarrhea every hour. And I'm on round 3 again of the diarrhea tonight. By the time I see my doc on Thursday for my check up, I'll probably be constipated. I read in a few places that this could go on for a few weeks before labor. I really hope that I just go into labor early and this ends cause I hate feeling sick like this.

It's s common 3rd tri symptom. Also could be a stomach bug.

I had diarrhea in early labor, when contractions started. And then as soon as my water broke I threw up the entire labor.

When I went into labor with my first, I thought I had the worst flu of my life. I had diarrhea and vommitting, its like my body emptied out. Then the contractions began. It was out of no where.

KW12 · October 2015

Had nausea and loose bowels all last week. Woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat. Monday morning had a headache and was very achy. My water broke monday night

mrssuperman918 · October 2015

I noticed this morning when I woke up that I have the sniffles and a slight soreness in my throat. Almost like the onset of getting a cold. Came out of nowhere. Now I'm starting to feel achy in my upper back, stomach, and legs. I'm 39W1D today. Any ladies have those symptoms and it not actually be the start of a cold? Lol

poupoule · October 2015

I dont know I woke up with the same this morning, nose congestioned, headache and weak throat. I also discovered what contractions were since yesterday ! But they are totally inconsistent. And I am only 37 weeks so I think my body is just getting ready and I am tired.

I can't seem to keep anything in my body today, as soon as I eat, it gets pushed out...

aleeciabuskey · October 2015

It's the day before my due date and I was up all night with a stomach virus

Crestonbaby · October 2015

My water broke this morning and I have gone to the bathroom about 5 times already. I think it's my body getting easy to not poo during delivery, at least that's what I'm hoping :P but once your body begins to get ready it's normal to have diarrhea or lose stool, this also happened with my first

aleeciabuskey · November 2015

I really hope that if it is pre labor diarrhea and nausea that's it's gone before pushing or else it will be a bad, bad sitchuation! Now I'm scared! Anyone else's stomach 'bug' stick around during birth?

hlz128 · November 2015

My sister and best friend both said they got really sick before labor as well. I have cold symptoms and sinus congestion right now(36wks 6days) but no throwing up or diarrhea. I've had inconsistent contractions as well for about two days now.

I felt nauseous after my membrane sweep on Friday & I was really hoping it was a sign of labor. Well, I'm still pregnant so I guess it wasn't. Lol

ashes0601 · November 2015

I'm feeling extremely nauseous, not hungry at all, and I keep having Loose bowel movements...

juleyaspen · November 2015

I felt really nauseated about 30 minutes before I went into labor, and then diarrhea right as labor starter. The nausea came and went through the process but thankfully I didn't throw up!

ColoradoHiker · November 2015

I have had diarrhea for the past 24 hr, and had strong Braxtons and an hr of real contractions early this morning. They subsided, but the diarrhea definitely coincided with the contractions getting stronger/ more frequent.
