tmi question for experienced mommies

[ajaponte]

So I'm 36+3 and about 5 days ago I was experiencing mild contractions all through the night that even woke me up from sleep. They stopped the next morning, and for the past two days I've been having a lot of bm more than I have in the past few months. He dropped about a week and a half ago so I don't think its from that. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this when their body was getting closer to labor or if is just a mere coincidence.

Yes with my first I definitely had more bm's in the last week & they were loose...

Sounds like your body is getting ready for labor. But don't get your hopes up, it could still be weeks. The last weeks are always the longest for me anyways and I interpret every little twinge as I might go into labor soon lol

I'm 37w3d and have been having wayyy more BM the past few weeks. Not too much for contractions, but I never got any contractions with my first until I was in labor. I think it's just regular 3rd trimester pains unfortunately! :( I have my c-section date set for the 14th so I'm really not hoping to go sooner haha!
