Be careful because prolonged feeling of constipation should result in calling your doctor.

You are ready to pop. I would def contact the doctor and while you are doing that time them. My first pregnancy with my son. I felt like I had to pee so I sat on the toilet and they were contractions because once we arrived at the hospital my water broke and he was 4 weeks early.

I always felt my contractions were like bad menstrual cramps, frequent bowel movements are a sign of your body getting ready for labor also. Fingers crossed and good luck!
