TMI! Early labor signs

[isabel]

I've had diarrhea the last couple of days. I haven't changed what I eat and I feel fine. I don't have a fever or any other symptoms of being sick.

Google tells me this can be an early sign of labor, but also says it could last anywhere from a couple of days to weeks. I've had some minor cramping right across the top of my pubic bone, but no contractions as far as I'm aware.

Has anyone experienced this? I have an appointment on Tuesday, so I'll talk to my doctor then, but I wondered if anyone here has dealt with this and what happened.

Yes, not for days, but clearing out your gut is definitely a sign.

Yay! This could be it! I had a quick labor but I did have loose stools which got more diarrhea like as I got closer to her birth. I know that some people do have a few days of "clearing out" though. Make sure to stay hydrated and good luck!!

I had that for at least a few days before on and off, along with the minor cramps.

I had it as well. My body was just clearing out to get ready for labour. Sounds like you might be on your way!
