I have had numerous loose stools today. Has anyone else had this problem? I have'nt eaten anything weird or anything. It just came out of nowhere!

It's your body preparing for the inevitable. Contractions are contractions, and they're all located in the same general area. It's a gross answer, but once you're in that delivery room pushing, all sorts of stuff comes out...not just Baby. Sounds like you're in the home stretch...good luck, and have a speedy labor!

Yup with my first child I loose stools that morning, a big one I might say. I called my doc and he said come in just to make sure your not in labor and sure enough I was in labor.

Yes, it is normal, and it is also a sign that labour is on it's way. I had the same thing happen to me the day before I gave birth to my son (I was 39 1/2 weeks). It's your body's way of preparing itself for labour.

I had that few times when I was in late pregnancy w/ my second child. I thought it meant that labour was just around the corner so I've read any way. But nothing ever came of it. Could be nothing or it could be that you might go into labour... good luck if that's the case.

Get ready for labor, cuz this happened to me 2 days after I was due. Within 24 hours, I was in full labor with my son.

you are sooo normal and will be a mommy any day now. It's your body's way of cleaning you out in preparation for the pushing that is soon to follow. Congratulations and good luck, honey!!

Looks like labor might be just around the corner. Keep an eye on yourself and don't get dehydrated. Good luck!!!!!

It's normal and quite common. It's your body getting ready for labor and it's cleansing your body. Good luck! It's literally any day now!

I've heard that it's normal to get diarreah proir to labor, as your body is getting ready for the big event.
