A member asked:

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and i've had diarrhea/soft stools for about 3 weeks now. a lot of pelvic pressure. no other symptoms. is this preterm labor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Diarrhea can cause preterm contractions. Certainly you can take some immodium for the diarrhea. However, I would call your OB provider today. Most of us doing OB have answering services, so someone is likely on call. The provider on call may want you monitored and maybe even collect a stool culture.
