Early labor? Or is this normal?

I'm 24 weeks pregnant, having a boy & im carrying my baby really low. 2 days ago I noticed that my belly felt lower and I felt a lot of pressure down there. Now for the past 2 days I've been having lower back pain and I've been waking up to horrible cramps like I have to poop and when I do it's diarrhea is this normal? I'm I going into early labor?

U could be in early labor cuz that's what happen to me I was 37 weeks with my son and I was having a lower back pain and felt like I have to poop but I couldn't so I was constipated . and I went to labor and delivery for them to check me out I was 3 & 4 cm

My little boy has been right on my cervix the whole time. But I haven't had any back pain or anything. I'd definitely get it checked, just in case.

I have been carrying my boy low for a while and have hurt most of my pregnancy. So it could be normal for you but I would still call your doctor to make sure.

It could be, but it could just be normal pregnancy symptoms.  I would call your doc or midwife to be safe.
