labor & loose stools 35 weeks

Hey all I'm in my 35th week and for 2 days I've had really loose stools and sometimes stools that are really loose when I pee. Could labor be starting?  Baby is also very low when doc checked cervix but no dilation or effacement.

I have had that since about 34 weeks, and today I am 41 weeks, so it might not mean anything other than that there is pressure on your intestines. Just make sure you're staying well hydrated!

My dd id 14 weeks now. But i remember every number 2 i did for the last two or three weeks was loose. And she was born on her due date. I had no bh or no mucus plug and water breaking until my labour started. Your def close though :) Just watch for all the signs :)

I know that your body does sometimes clean itself out before labor. With my last baby I had really loose stools and my water broke a few hours later, I was 35 weeks.

I've been having loose stool and contractions for 2 weeks. Started at 36+1 when I lost my mucus plug had bloody show but I was only 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Now I am 38 weeks and still nothing but a bunch of contractions.

I've been contracting (bh) since 17 weeks. Since about 29 weeks have they gotten regular every once in a while so I can't really add that to symptoms, just the loose stools is new
