I been having multiple in a day but not minutes apart, people say "when you're in labour you'll know" but i dont know lol whats going on? Help

Answer

I'm 37 w today and I've been having the same thing. Bad lower back pain and constant poop urges. No contractions yet.

Answer

Contractions feel like bad period cramps that come and go

Answer

Sounds like your body is just starting to gear up for labor. Contractions feel like an extreme tightening of your uterus that radiates to your back or from your back to your front. You can actually feel your entire uterus contract and get hard as a rock. Essentially they are squeezing your baby out. You will know when you are in labor and they will be regular lasting 45seconds to a couple minutes-ish every 5 minutes or less and get even closer towards the end.
