    I was having a lot of cramping for several hours the other day. It was accompanied by a constant dull back pain, side cramps, and nausea. It scared me at first but it wasn't unbearable so I went home, laid down and after about 4 hours it went away and I haven't had it since.

    That being said, if you feel like you need to call your ob, then go for it. If you think something may be wrong then go with your instinct.

    Could be that you do just need to have a good poop, but definitely call your doctor if you're at all concerned.

    It's been 10 minutes. Usually when I have cramping and feel like I have to poop, it's because I have to poop.

    How many weeks are you?

    In my experience you know when you are in labor. If you have to ask then its not the real deal. Then again, I know that everyone's experience is different, but for me there was absolutely no question. 

    If you have questions then call your doctor and they will have you come in to get monitored to see if its the real deal.

    Yes, seriously, by all means get yourself to the bathroom and see if you really need to evacuate your bowels.  Afterwards lay down or change positions into something more comfortable and see if the "contractions" are timeable and or regular.  If it's still an issue, call the after hours line at your OB's practice or the L&D nurses at your hospital for advice.
