36 weeks pregnant- menstral cramps w/ freq diarrhea?

Sounds like your body is getting ready for labour! When the contractions get more painful & come more frequently you might want to get checked out, as it could be hard to determine when labour has actually begun. You may go early, but you could end up staying like this until past your due date so try not to get your hopes up about anything happening yet, just in case! Good luck.

Hi, I went to the see my consultant at the hospital 4 days ago and she said that the baby's head is really low down, after leaving the hospital i checked in my notes and under the notes relation to brim my consultant has written 1/5. Can you explain to me what this means? Im only 32 weeks yesterday as well
Thanks Lisa

Hi, I am at the end of my 36th week too and had my doc visit two days back.She confirmed that the baby was in cephalic position and will be settling final-down this week and thats why I guess I am also experiencing the same symptoms since yesterday ie crampy lower abdominal pains which at times are slightly sharp (as if diarrehea could start... uuhhh sorry for being abit disgusting!) apart of which also it seems like there is a change in the baby's movement too but after a constant check by keeping my hand on my tummy, lying on my left side for some time (to monitor the movements) and even by having orange+mango juice and lying on your left or sitting with your legs rested straight and up, the movement is justified. So i guess it is a part of the process.. as far as there are no other strange new syptoms such as bleeding, watery discharge flow, fever, sharp continueous contractions or pains and your little one is still moving every now and then... there is no need to worry as such.Good Luck and keep on monitoring your baby's movements and watch out for any new unexpected symptoms coz then you really need to call your doctor.
Take care!

im 36 weeks prego and got another doctors appointment here in a day , ive been having really bad diarrhea and pains in my stomache and in my kidney areas on the right lower back. not sure what this is i know my dodctor said eevrything is fine last week when i saw her, and the baby went head down 2-3 weeks ago. im hoping that i am having the bathroom issues becuase my body is preparing for labor, this is my second boy but didnt experience any of this with the first. im due on new years, but hoping he comes before them, becuase the tax break would be nice, so i could get help towards a car. does anyone know here what could be happening?

Hi I had my daughter at 36 weeks and about a week before I had her I started having really bad diarhea as well. I to had the pains in my lower back and found out that they were back contractions. I had never heard of those so I just thought I was getting to heavy for my body..lol...They did get to the point where it was almost unbearable and I finally went to the hospital and was given a c section. I hope this helps and start getting ready it wont be long!!

Im 36 weeks pregnant and for the past few days Iv ben having contractions but not regular as they should be. Today, Iv ben cramping alot (seems like menstrual cramps) and they are getting more intense now running down to my leg but I havent had any change in discharge (blood) so I havent gone to the hospital as yet but the scary part is Im not supposed to go into labor, Im a repeat C-section patient.. Help, What to dooo???

Hi am am having the same and I am worried as due my 3rd section, how long did you feel like this? X I'm worried

Im 37 weeks pregnant and about 4 days ago i started having pain in my back that then moved to my lower stomach followed by tighting of my stomach. I read up on it and from what i can tell i was having contractions, they werent regular and only lasted about two and a half hours. I had similar pains lastnight with a very small amount of brown blood or discharge, im not really sure which it was, and today i have had a constant pain in my lower back and stomach to the point of almost not being able to walk. Should i be worried or is this normal?

I am 36 weeks and 3 days, and I have been having diarrhea for the past week (Sorry for all that information) And my stomach has been tighting up all over and on my vagina it has been too but it has a feeling of pressure and a little pain.It doesnt matter if I am laying down or standing up or sitting down it keeps going, Its been doing that every 2 or 3 mins for the past hour and half. My back hurts a little but not where I cant bear it. Is this normal? And is there something I should do?

I'm 36 weeks 2 days and I'm having some sharp pains every like 2 hours can that be normal I don't know about any discharge coming out because I'm using some vaginal cream to treat a yeast infection so o don't know if there is any thing beside the cream coming out I also get scared because what if my water breaks and I'm taking the medication can it affect my baby anyone knows ? ...

Almost 10 years ago I had surgery It was a (Myomectomy). I'm suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding,it is very aggravating I don't have any insurance right now so I can't get a ultrsound done I'm miserable i still have fibroids and don't know if they have grown or not what to do.
