Please give your opinion! I am so confused!!?

Question

I have been having severe pooping type cramps the past 2 days. The pain is really bad and I have gotten to the point where there is nothing left in me to clear out!! I have low backache also. My question is do you think i am having contractions or the baby is sitting on my bowel? What kind of pains are these? Im feeling quite debilitated. Help im so confused!

Answer 1

You may be about to go in labor, and your having contractions in your back. very common.  

Answer 2

When you are in labor or really close sometimes the pain feels just like that. I would give a call to your doctor and ask what he thinks you should do. It sounds like it maybe labor, or early labor. You are really close to your due date too so I wouldn't doubt it.  

Answer 3

if you are having the runs is a sign of labour, means your body is ridding itself of things it doesnt need making room. yes your problably having contractions if you have the urge to p**p. Count them and see how far apart they are remember though to drink lots of fluids either way.  Baby is sitting on everything so its not accurate to say is my baby just sitting on my bowl your bowls lungs intestines kidneys are being squashed to your back.  So if your worried and the pain hasnt let up call your OB unit speak with the doctor on call or call your ob explain your symptoms at 38 weeks nothing to worry about your baby should be here very soon.

congrats.

I had this not too long ago, I thought for sure it was pre-term labor. My doctor instructed me to lay down, drink water, and take Tylenol. He said if the pain goes away with the Tylenol and there is no longer pressure than I was okay, but if I continued to have pressure after an hour - hour and half after after taking the tylenol to come in.

If you are concerned call your doctor, or go to the emergency room...no one hear can tell you for sure.
