Anyone else having several bowel movements during contractions?

Br

For the past few days, I’ve had irregular contractions. Sometimes 5 min apart and other times just random. A lot of the time it turns into me having a bowel movement. So much so that I think I may have a hemorrhoid now. This is my second pregnancy so I know it’s a contraction vs gas pain. My first pregnancy I went into labor the day that contractions started, so I keep thinking they will progress to regular intervals and they don’t. Has anyone else experienced this or experiencing currently?
