HELP

I'm 29 weeks and 4 days along. It has felt like I've been having some period like cramping. No blood. And No UTI. Got my urine checked and it was good. But it feels like I have to poop but nothing. What could this be???

Sounds like Braxton Hicks. I have to add, (this is from experience) if you're feeling like you need to have a bowel movement don't over-do it in the pushing department. This can cause hemorrhoids. If you were closer to your due date I'd say don't push too hard because you could be in labor and not know it (also from experience). Have you spoken to your doctor?

You should call your doctor.

Sounds like gas pains and constipation to me, but I am not a doctor or nurse.

I second the constipation and gas pains. Beginning of second tri was when it really hit me and can mimic period pains sometimes!

As somebody with IBD I can say in certain cases (constipation, diarrhea or right before a BM) cases bowel discomfort for me feels a lot like moderate period pain. But I'd still run it by your doc to be safe.
