Frequent Bowel Movements? sign of possible labour approaching?

Alibeebs · Oct 24th, 2009, 08:12 AM

Hi folks.

I had been suffering really bad back aches and cramps for 2 weeks and they stopped all of a sudden this week but....

the past 2/3 days i've felt really odd.
I've been so restless, and cant settle at all also feeling just a bit sick, crampy, and my bowel movements have went from CONSTIPATED to very regular (like after every meal!!!)

I've heard that sometimes this is your body clearing for labour?

Not sure...?

Some people's bodis do " clear out " before labour but that doesn't always mean its imminent unfortunately for us. I'm in poss early labour (although eased) & my bowels have been emptying somert chronic last 2/3 days which the mw at hosp said can be a sign but not always.
Given your gestation i'd just be on the ready just in case hun , x

Id say, you would know if they were possibily the start of early labour contractions.

After going weeks on end having BH's when i had early labour contractions i just knew they were all different etc
