Pain before poop

Olivia

Sooo I’ve noticed lately that every once in a while I will get this terrible pain that almost feels like a contraction or something. It doesn’t last long but it’s painful. It goes away and then like a hour later I have to poop. Would needing to poop cause pain? Sometimes after I go it feels better. I had a bad episode this evening and then like a hour later I had to go poop. Old what’s happening, my first thought was maybe Braxton Hicks but I think I’m to early for that. I’m confused as to what this is.
