Help! Braxton Hicks - diarrhoea??

Hi guys! Hoping someone can help me out here. Ok, so from Monday night I have been having fairly regular BH.They are getting increasingly painful and coming about every 20mins. It makes me want to poo (sorry if TMI!:redface: ) each time one hits. Is this normal?? I am only 34wks today. I thought BH wasn't meant to be painful? TIA

Belle,
Towards the end of pregnancy BH can sometimes feel a bit more 'painful'. You can call the hospital and ask the middies for some advice.

Good Luck!

I think that a call to the hospital would be a good idea.

Thanks guys! I haven't called yet as the middy at my ob's is really stern and will probably think I'm being stupid :rolleyes:

Hi guys,
Pain subsided in the arvo but has started again 9.30pm :( I don't know what's going on. There is so much bowel pressure and back pain. Hope I'm not in early labour :( Haven't lost my mucus plug or any waters yet though.
Also stressing about listeria - had some cheesecake from macca's Monday night :rolleyes: Been very emotionally stressed for the last two days. I think I've totally lost the plot now. :doh: Sorry guys for rambling on like this. Thanks for the :hug: xox

Belle,

i noticed you and I are due relatively around the same time. I just thought it might be comforting to tell you i am going through the same thing. It started about a couple weeks ago. Every time I had a BH it would feel almost like upset stomach and then I would a case of diarrhea. It happened at least twice a day and still does. I think it is normal. They say that women get the runs during the last bit of their pregnancies and we are 5 weeks away.

Hope this helped.
