diarrhea.... a possible sign? (tmi)

[southernmommie]

Is a lot of diarrhea a sign that labor is going to start soon? I've had it pretty consistently all night and some of the morning. That's a lot of poop for not being sick! I was also nauseas this morning until I ate some peanut butter an hour ago. I know I've had 4 kids, but I don't remember. I've already been losing my plug for over a week now.

Sounds like it's a definite posibility! The body has a way of knowing when to clear itself out.
(always a bonus when it does it before hand to so that's one less thought to cross your mind as you're starting to push)

Congratulations!!

Okay. That's good to know. But it isn't starting yet. Lol. I'm really REALLY really cleared out by now. I know, I know.. Tmi. But dang-it!! Maybe tonight while sleeping? I sure don't want to wake up and NOT be in labor!! I don't think I can take many more mornings of waking up and still knowing that it hasn't happened yet. And I really don't know why its such a big deal for me!

Still here and pregnant. I had some tightening all night, but nothing that started into full on birthing. This morning is pretty quiet on the tummy front also. No more diarrhea either. I did get REALLY hungry around dinner and again this morning!! Also, I am 39 weeks today.
