So let’s rewind a few days; I’ve been having back pains; which I know is normal and some inconsistent Braxton Hicks. And I’d just take Tylenol and nothing constant happened so I’m thinking it’s not the real thing yet.

FAST FORWARD to this weekend; I LUCKILY have a 4 day weekend off from work. I develop loose bowel movements; cramping (can’t tell if it’s from the 💩 or if its baby); back aches; and the worst nesting of my life. Not to mention tiredness. Still inconsistent contractions. Was 1 cm dilated at my apt Friday. Well now; the bowel movements have gotten worse and we are in like full blown terrible diarrhea. I’m nauseated at times but haven’t thrown up and I have loss of appetite. But I’m trying like hell to stay hydrated.

And I’m over here like is this the flu or is this normal? And is this a sign labor is coming soon?!

(I’m 36 + 4) and I’m almost always constipated.
