Toilet ‘clear out’ before labour

Hey girlies. Just wondering what people’s experiences have been with this? I’ve been constipated my entire pregnancy, to the point of having to take lactulose at times. Although I haven’t taken any for over a week. Anyway, I hadn’t been to the toilet for a few days but all of a sudden things took a turn yesterday and I went the complete opposite way! 🙈 I’m 38+1…just wondering if this could be a sign something might be happening or whether it’s wishful thinking 😂

I asked same question as I had other symptoms of possible labour too. Had the runs for over a week now but was told pressure and hormones can cause it. I am 38.6 today and no sign of labour as I was checked yesterday

@Rachel ah ok thanks chick, I was maybe getting a tad excited 😂 it’s my birthday today too so wondering if she might be wanting to share 😂

If you have other signs it's definitely worth getting checked, I did cause I thought I was leaking, turned out I just wasn't emptying my bladder properly cause of the pressure so was just pissing myself 🤣🤣 Happy birthday 🎂

Also in the same boat 😶‍🌫️😄 With my first I was induced and this happened to me so this time round I fully convinced myself it was the start of labour. We are about ten days on and no signs of labour 🫣😂

@Rachel hahahaha omg girl I howled at you there 😂

@Taylor I definitely was getting my hopes up then 😂😂😂

It can be a sign as your body is clearing itself out. But also could be hormones

Girls I think it may just have been down to a particularly greasy omelette when I went out for lunch yesterday 😂😂😂

Probably tmi but I had a lot of poops on Tuesday, waters broke at 1:30am Wednesday morning, had 2 more poops and then he was here by 11:48am! This was at 37+4 weeks so I think it can be a sign but everyone is different!

Yeah its completely normal, before the labour body "cleans" itself! Since week 37 i been going like 3 times a day, when once a day was my normal thing😄 also the sign is when you kinda want to, but nothing comes out

I was like this on Tuesday on and off for a few days, theb baby was here on Friday!
