TMI but need to know!!

Hey mommies :) I am currently 33 weeks (will be 34 tomorrow) and I am a ftm. I have been having really bad diarrhea for the past 3 days. I take my vitamins plus an extra iron pill but its never given me diarrhea before. I have a doctors appointment monday and I was going to wait but I have heard that diarrhea can be an early sign of labor. Help me please!!

Call your doctor and drink something like pedialite or gatorade to make sure you have enough electrolytes and you don't get dehydrated

The diarrhea may not be a sign of early labor, but cramping from constantly going can definitely start up labor.
