But all day I have been having cramps like I gotta go to the bathroom (poop. Tmi I know) their more up top and towards the middle of my stomach. They start off small but then slowly get more painful and they come and go. Don't really how much time is between them. But their spaced out a good bit. Then I go to the bathroom and nothing happens. It's frustrating. I told my mom and she asked if I was having contractions. But I don't know because this is my first pregnancy. Help!
