Currently 36 weeks but been told my baby is pretty large and I had my first baby at 38w (induced so haven’t naturally gone into labour before) so I’m half expecting I may be early this time.

The last 2 days I’ve had a huge surge in braxton hicks but the pains been quite high up. Last night I had some cramping low down that we’re making me have to stop what I’m doing and work through them but they weren’t very consistent either. Now I have very loose bowels. It’s 100% not something I’ve eaten as it’s started almost 12 hours after my last meal and I keep my evening meal very simple/bland/early to help manage heartburn.

Does this sound like I could be heading in the direction of labour?
