false Labor

So I made it to bed about 12:30am woke up to stomach pains and having to use the restroom at 2:40, at 445am I finally called my doctor after having contractions every 5-12 mins for 2 hours and the urge to poop and lots of pressure, I was told at 36 weeks unless my water breaks or the pain intensify that its normal, its 8am now and the contractions are random but the poop sensation is still there and the pelvic  pressure is still heavy... This is my third pregnancy and first time experiencing anything like this. Can anyone weigh in?

Turns out I was dehydrated, I was sick over the weekend and the dr this morning heard it in my voice and said he bet I had false labor from dehydration and sure enough guzzling 3 BOTTLES of water and with an hour I was fine!

Probably not going to be much help, but have you tried pooping? Could just be constipation and gas cramps?
