Am I in early labor? First pregnancy

I’d go. I went into labor at 37 weeks and I went in for “constipation pain” . It was back pain and feeling like I had to poop. Turns out I was 4cm dialated 🫤 had my baby the next morning.

Ive been feeling this for the last week! I think this is my sign to go get checked too, sounds like it could be early labour, definitely best to go and get sent home then not go at all

If it’s making you cry and you cant talk through the pain, best to go and get checked x

Better to go and be sent home than to be home and something bad is happening. When I was 30 weeks i noticed decreased fetal movement. Almost talked myself out of going to the hospital. Good thing i went because i had an emergency c section 2.5 days later. I always tell this story to remind moms to trust their instincts, and to just go to the hospital just in case 🖤🖤

The anus pain makes me think to suggest yes go get checked, I told my midwife I felt like I needed to poo and they all rushed around came in and told me to push! Apparently it’s a very known saying women say when they’re about to be ready to push. Best of luck xx
