Sorry for TMI..but I'm beginning to get scared now...

I only have 7 days left. and have been getting the runs every day. Is this a sign? I feel fine otherwise..but every morning I have BAD pain and have to go to the bathroom.

I still don't have my bag fully packed...(I know..I know..but I will do it today), and I'm just nervous. DH is still working the night tours. His last day is Friday and I'm beginning to panic thinking this baby is going to come in the middle of the night, and we only have 1 car!!! I have a back up..but I'd like for it to happen while he's here if anything.

Anyway..just wanted to know if the runs were a sign of labor?

I've heard you might start to empty your bowels right before labor, but that may or may not be what's going on with you.

Call your doctor and see what he/she says. I'm sure everything will be fine.

I am due in 7 days also and this happened to me last week and this just wore off. I actually got excited that it would happen so I don't know. The Lamaze instructor did tell me that if you usually go normal you will have the runs and if you don't go at all most likely you will go more than often right before labor.
