Might be a silly question but just wondering?

Question

i will be 31 weeks tomorrow and this will be my 5th (so u would think i'd know) but anyways i have had diarrhea for a couple of days and thats just not normal for me i usually go normal but here lately i havent and i was just wondering if that could be a sign or not? i've never went into labor my self i've always been induced at 37 weeks with all my kids

Answer 1

Diarrhea alone is not a sign on labor and anyway you are still very early to deliver. If you start having contractions you should call the doc.

Answer 2

It is common to get contractions after a bowel movement (though you didn't mention contractions).  Sometimes loose bowels happen as your body prepares for labor.  It is not a sign in itself that labor is imminent, but a combination of symptoms.  Try upping your fiber intake (oatmeal, veggies, etc).  You don't want to get dehydrated.

I just had my 5th baby, and I still have questions!  So don't ever feel embarrased to ask.

Answer 3

ive read that diarrhea is a signt hat labor could be just around the corner... but being almost 31 weeks thats way too early for labor!
