You would think I would know by now

Well, this is my 3rd pregnancy, and this morning, I woke up at 1am with really strong BH, and an urge to go to the toilet, and when I did go to the loo it was really bad diarrhea (sp?), I ended up getting up over a dozen times to empty bowels with heaps of BH in between, I probably managed about 2-3 hours sleep. The BH have continued on today, although not as bad, I have never had pre-labour like this with my other 2 pregnancies so was wondering if it actually was pre-labour or nothing at all...

Hi :

I read that you can start real labour from the 37 week mark!!! You have probably started your journey to meet your bub. How exciting for you all the best and if i were you iand the pains BHs or the uncomfortableness hasnt subsided y now , i would be phoning the hospital

Good luck and keep us posted

Ainsley (im 26 weeks ) child number 2 for me I went into labour with Tom at 38 weeks!

OOeee - I get the runs too, and I ALWAYS chuck just before I go into labour (or give birth!).
I shall be watching this space!!!

It sounds like your body is eliminating in preparation for labour.

My waters broke and I went into labour at 37w5d - anything over 37 weeks is full term so it sounds right from a timing perspective.

Good luck - I hope it all goes well :D

Thanks ladies but alas, everything has now subsided :( so I guess I just keep on waiting, will update this thread if anything new eventuates.

Always the way hey! Your body is most likely getting ready for labour. It usually has a good clean out before hand. Best of luck with everything!

OOOh, good luck Sharon, enjoy these final days before you meet your precious little bubba, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the announcement! xox :)

Marydean thanks hun, nice to see someone from my old 'BB group' hope you are going well.
