35 + 5 weeks pregnant. Are my bowel movements sign of labor?

Hi all. Sorry if this is to much information!
For about 2 days now I've been having about 4 really soft poops.
I've now got a feeling like I need to poop and I'm really uncomfortable, i keep going to the toilet and almost straining trying to go and nothing is coming out.
Could this be a sign of labor?
Thanks Blush

Probably not, sorrry...I remember thinking the same thing and i ended up delivering 10 days late. Probably just your body preparing on the lead up.

Hope not! I get like that some days and I'm 29 weeks. I reckon my hormones have gone a bit nuts again as my periods affect my bowels a lot too.
