STMs: If you had loose BM [TMI]

Were they just looser than normal or full on diarhea? I've gone from having regular BMs to looser ones in the last day or so, with hot flashes, more lower back pain, swelling, nausea, and more painful BH, with the painful BH, hot flashes, and swelling starting since yesterday. I wasn't sure if that's the type of BM I should be expecting pre labor or if I should be looking for actual fluid. Thanks, and sorry or the TMI!

My BM were just loose but I didn't notice it days before labor.  With both of my boys, I only noticed it the morning that I went into labor.  Good luck!

I had loose BM and diarrhea about 3-4 weeks before I went into labor with DS.

The cause of more BH could be dehydration from the diarrhea, make sure you're drinking tons of water. I had loose BM for the last few weeks both times.

I woke up with diarrhea and my water broke about 2 hours later.  I agree with pp though that dehydration could be causing diarrhea and BH, make sure you are keeping up with your fluid!

Thanks! I've definitely been keeping hydrated, I learned that lesson the hard way with my awful RLP back in the summer. I drink a good 3 to 5 bottles of water a day to keep things like that at bay, which is part of the reason I'm asking about this stuff now. I'm trying really hard not to be a FTM who questions every twinge, but it's so hard sometimes!

Agree with above poster... I was already in labor before loose BMs started. This time, though, I've been having recurrent IBS attacks, and - even though I'm a STM - I'm *still* wondering if it's an imminent-labor sign. :)

What size water bottles? 3 - 20 ounce water bottles + loose BM is probably not enough water for a pregnant lady.

The bottle I use is 32 oz, so about a liter. Usually I drink 4 or 5, but it depends on how often I can get out of my class to refill.
