This is a totally gross, totally TMI question, but I have to ask!

Question for those of you who were "cleaned out" before labor started...

Was it diarrhea or just a lot of BMs over a shorter period of time? How long after that did you go into labor?

For the past 24 hours I have had several BMs, some pretty "substantial" and others not so much- everything is formed, but pretty soft (again, gross, I'm so sorry). Also I've noticed more stomach/bowel cramping and discomfort than usual, but nothing consistent.

I can't decide if symptom spotting is worse during the TWW or when you're waiting to go into labor. ARGH!
