Contractions?

Has anyone contractions started out feeling like your have to have a bm? I've been having loose stools all day today so I know I don't have to go again but the past two hours it's been feeling like I have to poop but nothing is coming out, it's not to painful but it's getting uncomfortable kind of like I'm constipated and need to push. Last dr appointment I was dilated at 1 1/2 so hoping it's the start of something!
