loose bowels

[jen0221]

I asked in another group, but haven't had any responses yet. I know that loose bowels can be a sign of labor and I was wondering, for those who have had babies, how long after starting to get loose bowels did it take for labor to start?

[CandaceR22]

I never had loose bowels. I got induced at 40weeks 2 days and even after birth I couldn't poop for 3-4 days

I've had loose poops on and off too. It's almost been a nice change from that second trimester constimaption... Almost.

I've had it for the last couple weeks. I'm 37 weeks now.

Yeah not an actual sign that you're about to go into labour, but that your body is kind of preparing for it

I think I had it about a week out, but everyone's different.

Loose stools can start at the beginning of third trimester. So not really a sign of labor
