labor signs??

So this is my second pregnancy but I never went into labor or had contractions with my first because he was breech. I was woken up with bad cramps, nausea and very loose stools about 2 hours ago and the cramping has stopped but  I still feel extremely nauseous. I'm only 30 weeks and I'm just concerned because I've read a lot about labor starting and having loose stools and flu like symptoms. I was checked this morning and they said my cervix was still closed so could this be a reaction from the dr checking me maybe?

I was gonna ask the same question since I was induced with my first...my mom tries to tell me what she went through since she had 4 natural deliveries but I think hearing it from someone else helps

Thanks for all the responses! This morning I woke up feeling fine. I do know cervix checks can cause cramping and false labor so I just wasn't sure seeing as I had none of this with my last because he was breech.

You may have just contracted a bug. I have had 5 babies naturally and what you are describing sounds more like either a bug or maybe even food poisoning. At the end of pregnancy due to all the shifting and crunching our intestines go through it can cause fluctuations in stool consistency. I wouldn't worry unless you are having pains that you can time and that you can't get to go away. I had preterm contractions with my last 3 babies and still ended up delivering full term babies. So relax drink some water and realize that your baby isn't going to come until it is ready and 30 wks is way to early.
