I had mild contractions and loose stools toward the end of my pregnancy. I called up to the OB department and they told me to come in to be monitored b/c loose stools are a sign of the beginning of labor! It was a false alarm for me...but hopefully you're almost there! :)
Thanks ladies! I was in and out of the bathroom numerous times last night before I felt any better.... today my stomach just feels really heavy. I guess it's a waiting game now.
I am going through the same thing right now (38w2d). Very uncomfortable feeling. No diarrhea per say (yet) but very loose stool. Happens frequently throughout the day. I don't remember it being this bad with my first (perhaps I just didn't notice it with her). Am really hoping the end is near.
me too .. had the same thing happen to me
I had very loose stools for about 2 weeks with no break and then they turned to complete diarrhea the day I went into labor. It is definitely a common sign that labor is near!!! Good luck!!
