Im having pain like cramps coming and going and left lower back pain and feeling like i have to go poop (sorry tmi) and its hard to poop but i go.... Should i get checked out
so I would suggest calling your on-call nurse. however, they may just tell you to time the cramps, if it's contractions it will feel like your whole abdomen is tightening and back labor feels like awful back pain, it's nearly undescribable. what could be happening is that baby is putting a lot of weight and making you feel like you need to poop. unless you are having contractions close together, I don't know that they would say go in but I am not a nurse and it would be safer to call. also, do not push when you feel the urge to push.
but definitely time the cramps. write down the time they start and stop.
