A member asked:

Is diarrhea and colic signs of labor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: GI symptoms can often be early signs of the onset of labor. It can also be something you ate of signs of the onset of a stomach virus. If you are term, sit back and relax and see if contractions ensue. If you are not due yet, get bed rest and call doctor if any contractions start.

Dr Iwata and another doctor agreed
