yeah I heard that and it makes sense that your body is getting ready for the process but I'm just not having any diarrhea. definitely had some regular movements yesterday when I'm normally more on the constipated side. now I'm just having severe severe cramps and I'm soooooo nauseas im thinking I'm gonna call the dr soon

I did not have diarrhea with my first. However i did have a few regular bowel movements before I went to the hispital. Which i think helped out since I didn't go at all at the hospital while giving birth. But your body just starts to clean itself out preparing for the process.

It's basically your body getting ready for the show. Sometimes if you eat before active labour it comes back up, that's what happened to me.  I think diarrhea is the better part of it!

I didn't. Although the contractions made me feel like I was going too. Spent the better part of two nights in the toilet with nothing to show for it haha.
