Are The Loose Motion And Malt Like Urine Smell Signs Or Early Labor?
Hi, I'm 35 weeks pregnant I have been experiencing what I think are braxton hicks contractions for a few days, I had loose stools yesterday morning and backache, this morning when I woke up I've got bad lower backache and my urine smells like malt ??? Are these signs of early labour . Thankyou

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Your symptoms are more on the lines of a possible stomach infection (Acute gastroenteritis) resulting in dehydration. I would recommend a visit to your doctor for a complete blood count and stool analysis. In the meantime, make sure you drink plenty of water and if your doctor also suspect a stomach infection then do start ORS at the earliest.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
