you can loose your mucus plug and delivery can still be a month off. It is really early though for you to go in labor. you should really contact your doctor. These could be simple braxton hicks contractions, which get your body ready for actual labor. when you feel them change positions(if your walking sit down, if your sitting stand and walk around) I've also noticed taking a shower helps them subside. But if you truly feel its labor I would talk to my doctor. This is early! you have 2 months before your due!

Believe me I know how you feel. I have had so called Braxton Hicks since I was 28 weeks pregnant, some were so severe I went to the hospital, but was not dialating 1 cm per hour so was sent home. I am now 37 weeks and still have them and a bad pressure in my pelvis almost constantly. But it sounds like to me that you need to see your doctor, you might be already thinning out and getting ready for labor or possibly in preterm labor.

Get to the hospital! Usually when you have an urge to poop and yet nothing, more than likely it is a sign of labor. If you feel a little weary about going to the hospital only to be sent home, then just check yourself for dilation. That probably sounds gross, but at least that way you'll know for sure if you are dilating, just make sure your hands are clean first

Ok, Well I am going on 35 weeks pregnant. All last week I had braxtin Hicks contractions. I went to the hospital conplaining of sharp pains in my lower stomach, here it was contractions that were 1 minute apart! They put me on a pill thats called tributiline. It stops the contractions. If I were you I would go out to the hospital so they can monerate them. Good Luck!

easily! now must be the time to do it at the same time as your no longer close to for your due date. One little tip: in case you want camping out in a tent and don't have a blow up mattress, take an more desirable pillow for your hips to assist with convenience. It helped me hundreds with a sore back from sleeping on a foam mattress :D. have relaxing.

go to the hospital and get checked out. especially if you think you have lost your mucus plug. babies that are delivered that soon have a small chance of living. and if they do there can be all sorts of problems. if i were you i would want to know that everything was alright. and sometimes labor doesn't take that long. my contractions with my first child were about like your so i called the hospital and they told me to come in right away. it was a good thing i did because i was dilated to 8 and had him in 6 hours.

I would call your doctor -- although I have to imagine you probably still have a way to go. Braxton Hicks (false labor) pains are very painful and cause all kinds of odd sensations. They can also be pretty regular, but they aren't true labor.
Best of luck -- call the doctor so you can be at ease!

You should probably contact your doctor ASAP or go to the hospital. The feeling like you have to poop is a normal feeling when the baby is trying to be born. Good luck!
