Does Diarrhea Mean Labor Could Be Near?
2009 August 13
Im a little over 38 weeks pregnant, lately I have been feeling nauseated, and this morning I have been having bad period like cramps with diarrhea (not very watery, but very loose BM) (sorry TMI)
Did anyone have symptoms like this prior to going into labor?
I am also tired, and feel sore.
Baby has already dropped, and been having braxtons for weeks now.

I haven’t had these symptoms (i’m 37 weeks expecting a boy) but diarrhea can be a sign that labor is on the way but it could up to a week i read. Pretty much everything i’ve read has said that women experience it before labour. It could be really soon for you!!!
well yesterday i had bad contraction all day 11 minutes apart, went down to 8 minutes apart pain in back everything, then at 2am i started havin very loose stool… it was not a lot and almost like i had to struggle to get the lil itty bit out but so loose and felt like i had to go so much… i am only 34 weeks but have had my steriod shots etc… and been on bed rest soo i am so ready, they could hear her respitory on the doppler…. so she is “breathing” in there…
It could be. The start if labor is different for everyone, but what you describe are signs that my doctor gave to be as possibilities for labor coming soon.
Good Luck!
It is a sign sometimes that labor is coming, but doesn’t mean that it is.
