Warning Tmi.. 36 Wks & Just Had Diarrhea Kinda..normal?
2009 November 28
so this is like the 2nd time in the last 2 days that i had loose # 2..
& before i went to the restroom my tummy was hurting like when you have diarrhea..
i was wondering if its normal to get that this late in pregnancy?? and if it could mean my labor is close?? [idk.. lol its my first baby and im filled with questions..srry if i sound dumb :p]
ive heard you have trouble having easy bowel movements and get a little constipated especially this late in pregnancy..
so idk..
normal and have anything to do w/ labor coming?
also other facts that might matter….
-baby has dropped since 32-33 wks.
-losing mucus plug w/o blood little by little over the last 2 wks..

A lot of women experience mild diarrhea in the days before labor begins. It’s the body’s way of cleaning things out in prep. for labor. So it could be close – especially considering you’ve been losing mucous plug. However, it doesn’t mean, for sure, you’re about to go into labor. It’s just a possibility. Unfortunately there is no exact science involved here!
Alot of times the body will clean itself out before labor starts (to make more room for the baby to get out – talk about TMI!). If you continue to have cramps after going to the bathroom start timing them. If they are regular and getting closer together call your doctor.
the baby has dropped? or turned head down? 2 different things…but i’m 38 weeks and have been having diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. the baby is head down (not dropped yet though) and have no signs of early labor coming. i think it’s normal.
Yup, consider it normal. Your body knows you’re in no shape for pushing out anything harder until that baby comes!
It could be braxton hicks and getting ready for the baby.
congraaaaaaattttttttuuuuuullllllllllllaa…
u might be going to labor soon…they r all signs…i had ma baby at 37 weeks…..good luck
