Join the club. I have all the same problems except I do not know yet if I am dialated any.

Either your constipated or labor is coming...I vote for the latter! **Labor dust**

I was induced all 3 times, so I never had the start of natural labor....but Ive heard that this may be the start...good luck!

Im in the same boat you are due 2 days before me and Im in and out but this pregnancy hasnt been a normal one for me its been completly different from the other 4
Best of luck sweetie!

You have got to be kidding me. I have 6 weeks left till my due date and 5 weeks left till my induction date. I have this #2 problem, swelling in my feet, hanging belly, and hurting in my groin area. Boy.....last night I had cramping in my lower back. I said something about it and my mom said "You are fine. You are not going in labor early". My step dad said "Honey, I don't know. She is hanging pretty low".

HEY ALEEN!  I HAVE THE SAME THNG!  I DONT KOW WHAT IT IS BUT I HAVE ALOT PF PRESSURE AND I PEE LIKE 50 MILLION TIMES A MIN AND EVERYTHING ELSE!  I GET THE FEELING TOO LIKE I GOTTA GO #2 AND NOTHING I HAVE NO IDEA

I've been having the same problem with the bathroom...yeah I've been having to pee tons, but in the past couple of weeks I feel like I have to poop all the time, and when I go try nothing happens. It's not constipation; I've been lucky to have not had that problem and I usually poop 2 or 3 times a day...
I guess it's just the baby pressing on the turd nerve down there, making us feel like we have to go! Sure is annoying...especially because when I try to go it feels like the baby is going to drop out!

im 35 1/2 weeks, and ive been going number 2 like 5-6 times a day for like 4 days... i HATE it.. my dr said it could be the start of labor...

Seems like everyone who is due around the time I am has the same problem...#2. If it's a sign of labor I am lucky! Gosh...I hurt and my feet are swollen and nothing helps. I dont know if I can hang in there 5-6 more weeks
