labor soon?

[tabbykatt92]

so I've been feeling super nauseous since yesterday, and I've been having loose bowel as well. (sorry tmi) but I don't think I've been having any contractions, feeling crampy a little in my abdomen but that's it. I'm 37 weeks today and was wondering if labor could be coming soon? I'm a ftm so Idk what it feels like or what to look for when I do go into labor except water breaking. or losing my mucus plug.

Losing your mucous plug does not necessary mean labor is near i t can still be weeks hun . I'm 40 weeks tomorrow and around 37 weeks I had lose bowels and nausea and really it could be anything there's more room for your bowels with baby engaging so it may have loosened your bowels up some or even something you ate . Let your doctor know though as well .

No one can really tell you when labor is going to happen, it just does. Nausea & loose stools could be something completely irrelevant to labor maybe a food adversion. If your contracting etc then I'd call. But loose stool could be possibly an upcoming labor I've read

anybody else?

Well if you start having real contractions they will be strong, and they won't go away just by changing positions or moving around. Although I can tell you, I'll be 37w tomorrow and I've been experiencing pretty much exactly the same, I don't think I'm anywhere near labor though.
