I am 38 weeks and five days pregnant. Yesterday I was having a loose stool but not diarrhea. Today I'm having diarrhea and I know that that can be a sign that labor is starting soon. However I have not lost my mucous plug and my water has not broken yet. I have had little contractions that are inconsistent but none so far today just in the past couple days. I have a dog backache and I just kind of feel Like crap honestly. At my last doctors appointment I was 2 cm dilated and I believe that my baby has dropped or engaged. Is there anyone that had these symptoms and how soon after the symptoms did labor start? Or if you had these symptoms how soon did you lose your mucous plug? I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, May 2 most likely to be induced but I would still like to know thank you in advance!! Ps. I don't want judgement on my decision to be induced and I am aware I am not in labor and that no one can tell me when I will go into labor. I'm asking on you guys personal experience with these symptoms.
