These are my symptoms, can you please let me know if it sounds like the beginning of actual labor or just my body preparing for labor??

-somewhat painful but inconsistent contractions
-nausea
-urge to poop but no bowel movement (but I don't actually feel constipated) just a lot of pressure
-super active baby
-extremely itchy tummy that's sensitive to the touch
-overall extreme discomfort

My doc told me signs are regular contractions (more than 5 in one hr), cramping, diarrhea,  back pain, pelvic pressure and decrese in fetal movement. Sounds like it might just be part of your pregnancy but you never know call your doc if things get worse or youre concerned.  Labor is different for everyone good luck
