Virus or the start of labor?

ALL DAY LONG I've had diarrhea. Very watery diarrhea. (sorry TMI) I'm not really having any contractions other than inconsistent BH. Hubby and I DTD this morning and a couple hours later, the bathroom runs started.

I remember reading that early labor can sometimes cause diarrhea, so how far away is labor if the diarrhea is in fact due to labor? Does your system clean itself out this much?!

Well... i've had runny stool for the past few weeks up until a few days ago... now it's just normal again. Hmm. Well... I've heard it can be hours before labor starts or weeks. Usually the really runny stuff is the stuff that's hours before. However i hear if it's really bad you should contact your doctor cus it's not good for you.

I'd be careful with how watery it is. Make sure to keep yourself well hydrated. Do you feel sick at all?

That's how my first labor started. Make sure you clean/wipe REALLY well (sorry, not to be gross). Otherwise you'll end up with an irritated bottom and possible new hemmorhoids which are NO fun when you're dealing with contractions!
