Am i in labour?

Question:

i have been woken up for the majority of the night having stomach cramps and i feel like i constantly need the loo for a number 2, at 5am i woke up with a strong pain and been getting them every 5 minutes from then! but i still feel like i need a poo (sorry) my waters have not gone and my plug hasnt come away and i have managed teh toilet 3 times is this labour or is it just the needing a poo that is giving me stomach cramps?

Answers:
i would say that it is time to go to the hospital no matter what...u don't want to risk anything bad happening in case you are in labor...good luck!!!

i would call your doctor or the hospital to ask for a professional opinion. thats the only real way to know for sure.

You may be having contractions, or maybe just a reaction to your dinner. Once your water breaks it is time to go to the hospital, but call your OBGYN of you aren't sure. Good luck!

Possibly - took me 40 min to figure out that is what was going on with me.

look if you have pain any place in your stomach in the same time like every 10 minutes or 5 not change you in labor or false one take 1 Tylenol if it go you OK if not you in labor good luck

some women never feel there water or plug when it breaks. It sounds like you might be, loose bowels are a symptom of labor.I'd go to the hospital (or call your doctor first if that is what he wishes).

having to go number 2 is a sign of labor

go to the hospital! don't worry if you think you'll be sent home either (I know women do this)
