No I'm not having diarea ladies. It's like gas cramps but it stoped after a hour a had like 8 in one hour. I thought it was labour freak it hurt so bad. I started getting them after A hour and they ended in farts. Then the pain would go away but I'm getting mild cramps and belly tightening now. Geez I just want baby out already.

I was induced but several of my friends had bad diarrhea at the start of labor. Maybe this is it for you! Gl!

If your bowels are irritated (from whatever may cause your diarrhea) it can cause contractions.  That's how Castor oil works, it's happened twice to me, but they stop by morning. I've been told to call my midwife when I'm having contractions that last one minute, are 4 minutes apart(finish to start) for one hour.
