37 weeks 5 days..PLZ READ

I've read a lot of places that women get diarreah and extra gassey before they go into labor... has this been true for anyone on here?? And how long was it after you had it did you go into labor? Because I seen my doctor at my weekly apt yesterday and he said the next time he will probably see me will be in hospital n I was like holy crap but I see you in six days lol and I've been having contractions and a lot of pain on vagina

I am 37+5 and have been extremely gassy. To the point where it wakes me up at night. I hope that means labor is soon.

I have diarrhea right now! It's so uncomfortable because I feel like going all the time even if I really don't have to. I'm only 35 weeks though so idk. I remember having diarrhea with my first pregnancy but I can't remember when it was, my first baby was born at 38 weeks so idk what to think this time. Sounds like you might be done real soon though, Good Luck!

Day before yesterday I woke up with it (I'm at 38 weeks) and had it all day, was extremely uncomfortable, and even got a hemorrhoid due to my (first) boy pushing down on everything. I did not call my doctor, there are plenty of medical experts in the family including my husband, and I didn't need too. Yes, that's a sign that your bodies probably preparing to go. But like they said it could be tomorrow or it could be a week from now...idk about you but I'm very tired of being pregnant now and cannot wait much longer.

I've heard it, but not sure if it wirks the same for everyone. I'm 37+6 & had diarrhea for two days (sunday/monday) along with back & vaginal pains but no sign of labor yet..... I get my membranes swept tomorrow so I'm hoping that does this trick because idk how much longer I can go through this. At 35weeks my baby was already measuring 39weeks 7lbs in the 91 percentile & I'm only 5'1

Yeah your body cleans itself out before labor which could be up to a few days or week before you go into labor. But it is true that your body does that. You could go into labor tomorrow or in like a week or two you never know lol.
