I've been having mild back aches and pains today. Some contractions here and there that have actually been painful (I have only been experiencing Braxton hicks so I know the difference now)... on top of it I have been really gassy ALL night and just now spent an hour on the toilet with diarrhea... I haven't gone in a while so I don't know if this has anything to do with this. I know TMI... but seriously, ladies is this normal?? I hear "going" a lot and being gassy is a sign of your body clearing itself for labor. Is that true???? Anyone else experience this ever???
