How long before labour started did you have diarrhea? TMI

[Maggirayne]

Or anything somewhat like it? I've been more or less somewhat constipated, regular, but knots, and have been having some ctx, but feeling like tightening, and had a poo that made me think "Well, maybe this is pre-labour."

So now I'm all wondering!

i had 0 clear early labor signs...not even looking in hindsight....only contractions that started out sporadic and then got closer together, none of the mucus plug, bloody show (until way in to labor), cleaning out....nothing....

I got diarrhea as my contractions started. I was also throwing up, nice combo, eh?

[heidirk]

yeah I had puking and diarhea too.

Thankfully no puking, but definitely labour!

I had diarrhea for 3 weeks before Kynan was born. Spent every night thinking "this is it!", only to wake up the next morning not in labour. Very frustrating. More frustrating to know later that I had to be induced anyway. He wasn't planning on going anywhere for a long time, diarrhea or not!

Hope everything is going (or went) well!

I had diarrhea the morning I went into labor, and at the time it was hard to distinguish whether the terrible cramps were contractions or gastrointestinal distress. Most of my labor contractions felt like I needed to use the bathroom really bad, actually. :

I had her, it definitely was labour!

So for me, this time, the answer was half an hour. Heheh!
