I am only 30 weeks pregnant. Last week I had a couple of days where I was having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions combined with lower back pain and menstrual like cramps. Thankfully those stopped and everything has been fine for several days.

Today, I keep feeling like I need to poop. Even after I was able to go I still feel the pressure.

I listened to a podcast the other day about a lady who didn't realize she was labor because her only symptom was feeling like she needed to poop. She was 38 weeks.

How likely is it that I need to be concerned? It is pretty embarrassing to call the doctor and say "I feel like I need to poop." lol

Thank you in advance for any answers
