Can bowel movement/constipation cause lower back cramping in pregnancy?

J.
Has anyone experienced lower back cramping in early pregnancy from constipation or your bowel movements right before you go? I was having bad lower back pressure/cramp like feelings then felt better after I went but not sure the two are connected as I've been having the cramping feeling in my lower back off and on. I'm about 6 weeks now so still early. I haven't been going to the bathroom daily more like every other day...  Any thoughts?
