Embarrassing Question!

I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and I've been feeling pressure like i have to make a bowl movement. But every time i try to go, nothing happens. My baby's head is down and i think I've been cramping or maybe it's just that pressure of having to make a bowl movement. I'm a ftm and I'm clueless! Help?

My doctor told me to make an appointment so I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for the advice, i had no idea i could be dialated right now.

I'm 37 weeks, I've been 4 cm since 34 weeks and I know the feeling . my baby is engaged though and way down in my pelvis that may be what it is for you :)

My water never broke with either of my kids but I had a ton of pressure and felt like I needed to go to the bathroom and when I finally went to the hospital with my first baby I was already 9cm! They broke my water and delieved her instantly! I didnt even have time to get an iv...with my second one I started feeling the same way went to the er and I was 7cm they broke my water and with in 30 mins he was here..not trying to scare you but you may wanna get checked just in case :)

Oh goodness lol. I haven't even had my baby shower yet and it's this weekend. I'm supposed to make an appointment for an ultrasound to see if I'm dilated or not. I guess I'd better get on it. I'm just so not ready for this yet. LoL.

Well sometimes when you go into labor your water doesn't break lol I was in labor and dilated to a 7 then had my water broken. I'd call to be safe.

I'm too scared to call lol. I'm trying to wait until the very end bc I'm so scared of what to expect. As long as my water hasn't broken, can i still wait a while? I'd hate to make a blank trip.

It could be a sign of labor call you labor and delivery, if your concerned go and see them it's better safe than sorry :)
