Signs of... labor ?!

You're probably going to be tempted to comment things like "how are we supposed to know" "you have to go to l&d" . Well. I'm not freaking going to l&d okay because I don't think I'm in labor. I was wondering if this sounds anything to you like it's coming soon like possibly in the next few days. Okay. I'll start with yesterday. I started getting a loose stool. The past few days I've been having strong BH at night. Everytime I got up to pee my tummy was hard as rock. It's been this way all morning now associated with cramps. Not so much the menstrual like cramps like I've been having the past few weeks. More like when you run and get that tight cramping feeling in your ribs or whatever. Except in my uterus. Does it sound to you like I'm going into labor soon ?

Yes it could be signs labour, although you can get signs like these and still not give birth for any length of time, I had the same and 3 days later my little one was born x
