The day before I found out I was in labor I felt like I had to poop all day and couldn't n then back labor started soon after.. I didn't poop until after I had my son and it was his head that was making me feel like that... Might wanna go get checked. Good luck!
Could be the start of labor...I had similar symptoms, but I stayed a week like that with mild contractions before I finally started progressing further. Good luck Momma!
39 weeks, now having contractions, hopefully they continue!
Are you by chance constipated? Try some prune juice or prunes.
