    Could this be the start of Labor?

    Hello Ladies,

    Well firstly I've been having Braxton hicks for about 3 months now (tightning of the belly and an out of breath feeling)
    About an hour ago I had a BH, but this time it didnt go away, so my tummy is still very tight and I have that out of breath feeling, and then every so often I feel like Im having another BH on top of the "constant" BH, does that make sense? lol
    I've also been to the bathroom twice with slight diarrhea.

    Im obviously a first timer and have no idea whats going on!

    Bugger! Just lost my post
    Misskylie, sounds like you could be in prelabour! How exciting. Bear in mind that while your body is doing a fab job of preparing you for the big event, it could still be a little while away. I know you are no doubt far too excited to rest But that's the best idea for right now - getting as much rest while you can, because the real deal is kinda exhausting! And it's not far away!
    GL and keep us posted

    It could be the start of pre labour. If you start getting pain with it then I'd say for sure that it is. Best of luck with it all.
