loose bowels
TMI but is loose bowels a genuine sign of impending labour? ive had extremely loose bowels the past 2 days, but im not eating anything that would give me loose bowels if that makes sense. my bump has dropped extremely low down and im getting crazy lightning crotch when walking and cramps in my back. i cant tell if this is just all third trimester symptoms or a sign of labour haha

@Djena ffs 🤦♀️😂was definitely getting excited! im 38 weeks so hoping weeks isnt plural and its just a week away lol. good luck to you cx
I’ve had a really easily upset tummy on and off for a week or so now too, it’s grim. Lots of people saying it is a sign it’s coming soon but I have a feeling I’ll go a little past my date.

From what I understand it means your body is preparing but labour can still be weeks away. I had a couple of days of it earlier this week (I'm 37+3) but they have gone back to normal now. Similar to baby being engaged (with lightning crotch etc), it's a sign that things are going in the right direction but very likely still weeks away. Sorry if you were getting excited haha
