I am 36 weeks and I am having very loose stools and loosing my plug. This has been happening for a couple of wks, but the stools have got bad the past couple of days. I was out walking for 4 to 5 hours yesterday. I had some contractions lastnight and today too. Is it possible it is labor or just false.

depends on how regular the contractions are, do they follow any type of pattern, do they get better if you get up and walk. If they don't get better when you walk and they follow a pattern then it sounds like real labor... If they do get better when you walk, its false but your time is coming...be happy!!!

They say that the way to tell is if the contractions come at regular intervals (every 10 minutes) and not every 10 minutes, then every 5 minutes, then every 10 minutes again. And if they are getting stronger. So you could be starting labour, or it could just be your uterus preparing itself! I've been having the same thing for a few weeks now too, and I'm 39 weeks. It all depends on your body!

Its just your body preparing for labor. I went through that at 37 weeks, but didnt go into labor until 40 weeks.
