For someone who has had two babies already I ask too many questions

Well as some of you know I've been having contractions and whatnot, well the baby has now dropped EVEN more like seriously my belly button is facing the floor. Anyway I was just walking down my hall and got a sharp shooting pain (like I had to have a BM) I had it down in my rectum and there's a lot of pressure down there. I have heard women say it feels like they have to have a BM before they go.into labor. If any of you have experienced what I just explained is that what it feels.like when women say that?
I tried to have a BM and nothing happened.
I am 36+3 today

Well they have had to stop labor twice already, I haven't felt any consistent contractions in a couple of days, just scattered here and there. I have lost pieces of my mucus plug but not a lot and I keep thinking I might be leaking but then I'll put a pad on to see and even after a few hours it isn't that wet. So I think the "leaking" is just like sweat or something. Idk I just couldn't walk to save my life last night and this morning and when I started feeling that ripping pain it made me really concerned.

Mrs nature_mama said, every pregnancy is different. These symptoms may be labor pains. When I was in labor with my daughter, all my contractions were felt in my rectum. Talk about an exorcist moment, lol... I don't want to sound gross, but have you noticed any leaking of fluids? If so, head in... Or have you lost your mucous plug that you know of? If your contractions are 3-5 minutes apart and they're frequent like multiple within the hr, I would definitely give the care provider a jingle or even show up to the clinic. But also for your peace of mind

I'm 34 weeks and feeling the same, I felt these things with my first, just our bodies getting ready for labour. But if you feel that contractions are close and your gut tells you this isn't normal just call in on your midwife or doc
