    diarrhea

    hi all i am 39 weeks pregnant and since mid day yesterday have been experiencing mild diarhhea every 4-5 hours - no sickness and feel hungry except everything i eat is going straight through me,... :(

    thanks

    I usually get Diarrhea at the beginning and right at the end of my pregnancy. Was told that it's all the extra hormones. Some say it is a sign that labour is imminent, so maybe that's what's happening with you??
    Good luck

    i was about to post up saying i had the exact same thing.. then i realises i didnt know how to spell it... lol

    i have had it for about a week or so every day, its not been really bad, like i dont have to run to the loo. but yesterday and today its been quite full on..

    i would be quite happy for it to mean the start of labour!!!!

    I've had a few bouts of this myself! Nothing regular & I think bubs is just taking up all the room in there LOL. But I'd be happy if it meant labour was starting soon as well Rachy!! Not long for us to go now though...
