Hoping this leads to something!

Been having irregular contractions all morning however they are getting pretty intense/painful. No real pattern to them yet though. I’ve had a full backache right above my tail bone since last night as well. Also tmi, but I’ve had diarrhea ALL day too. Have literally gone 5 times already and it’s only 1:30 and I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary. Really hoping this leads to active labor because I am so ready to have my boy in my arms.
