When you began to go into labor, did your contractions make you feel like you had to poop when they happened?

Question

I've had a couple of very strong contractions and they make me feel like I need to poop really bad, but nothing happens if I sit on the toilet. I don't know if this is the start of labor or not. They're very spaced out (by hours) but I have smaller contractions in between that just kinda feel like strong Braxton Hicks. 
I'd love to hear if anyone has had the same experience or not. Just want to be ready.

Answer

Wish I could change my answer to yes! It was awful. So uncomfortable in an already painful condition.

Answer

Every single time I thought I had to poop, I was actually forcing it, when I got to the hospital I thought I was going to “drop a load” 😂 nope it was baby’s head ready to come out

Answer

I would say the beginning ones felt like that, but as i got closer to active labor they were more of the typical contractions. Starts in the back, radiates to the sides, then to the front. But at first i just felt cramps and like i hate to poop bur didnt have to.
