My sister has 2 weeks left until she is due (2nd child). However she's been experiencing a stomach ache since last night but no pain. She says she's been "using the bathroom". I'm not sure if this could be a sign of early labor or just a plain ole tummy ache.....
YEA YEA i know go to the doctor, But she's a stubborn one and even though its been almost 7 years since her 1st pregnancy, i dont think she'd know labor if it hit her on the head and said "HEY YOUR IN LABOR" lol....
any advice would be appreciated., thank you all !

oh she will know when she goes into labor. all women know whether it is there first , third or has been 15 years between children. probably just a stomach ache which is not unusual considering the baby is big and pushing on everything inside her. in early labor she will have contractions not just simply a belly ache and believe me those contractions are undeniable.

Labor feel differently for everyone. If you go to www.webmd.com and in the search type in labor. IT will come up with a whole lot of options and will give you a really good idea of what it feels like. It also could just be braxton hicks. IF it is then she just needs to drink a whole lot of water and that is suppose to make those go away. I hope I was able to help a bit

She may have ate something bad. Some people get loose bowels just before going into labor or at the start. If it continues, you can just call the hospital and ask. Thet's what they are there for. Don't let your sister risk the baby's health. Not after she's come this far!

sounds like a stomach ache she would know when she is in labour if she went through it the contractions also gets worse. shes had to go to the doctors every month and every week in the last month so why would she be stubborn. she should go if she cares about this baby. its not about what she cares about right now its whats in the best interest for her baby now

I am pretty sure that if it was true labor your sister would know, especially if it is her 2nd pregnancy. She has already experienced the pain, so she knows what it feels like, but it wouldn't hurt to call her doctor

Hehe. If she's having actual contractions that are 5 minutes or less apart, she's probably in labor. My sister-in-law said she was really achy "down there", and felt like she had to poop. With me, I had unmistakable painful contractions & I just knew.

With only 2 weeks to go and this being a second child it is a good possibility. Call the hospital if you can't get her to go. Sometimes water never brakes but seeps. It is like you are wetting on yourself.
