A member asked:
I'm 38weeks pregnant and been cramping a lot to the point i feel it's a bowel movement but nothing happens. what can it be?

Baby pressure: You're so close to delivery that the size of the baby is pressing on your rectum and giving you the feeling that you have to move your bowels. It can be quite frustrating, but it will only last a little longer. Just make sure that your bowels are moving in reflection of what you are eating. For problems like that (actual constipation) ask obstetrician. Best of luck.
