Joanie8853 I'm in the hospital for that right now & Im 30 weeks , it could be from dehydration is what they told me but my cervix is also only 3.2 cm when its suppose to be 4 cm. Just keep an eye on it.

Well I have been feeling the same way. I asked my doctor why I feel diarrhea pain and no need to use the restroom. She said that I was having contractions.  I did some reasearch and yes contractions feel like cramps or diarrhea/upset stomach pain. Its just different with everyone. Im 38 +1 and ill get irregular diarrhea pain so im thinking its just braxton hicks contractions for right now.

No, they feel like cramps well thats were they start off and then its this horrendous pain in your lower back, its a tightening feeling that makes it feel like your back ia going to break.
The poop feelings isnt till baby has passed the pelvic bone and youre already pushing.
