Early labor?

Question

I posted previously about waking up with diarrhea at 35 weeks and one day pregnant. Some say they began labor either hours or a few days later. Finally stopped yesterday and felt okay now I’m noticing painless but definitely noticeable Braxton hicks but been having A LOT of them tonight. Should I pack my bags?

Answer

You can experience more braxton hicks from being dehydrated from a bout of diarrhea. Doesn’t necessarily mean labor but like someone else said, doesn’t hurt to be prepared. 
My first child was born at 35 weeks but i don’t remember having any braxton hicks leading up to it. I felt the contractions in my back the strongest the whole day before and day my water broke spontaneously. But i remember just thinking that it was just back pain and not really realizing that they were contractions

Answer

it wouldn’t hurt to pack your bags, but that’s not necessarily a sign of labor, I wouldn’t expect labor to be super soon just from that.
