Pressure in rectum at 36 weeks - early labour?!

[Wellthisisasurprise246]

Hi all, 36 weeks here (second baby). I’m feeling a lot of baby movement and pressure in my bum, could this be early labour? Or normal for the last few weeks of pregnancy?

Thanks!

Normal for me. I also had a very slow first stage (dilated to 4cm over five days at home, very gradual and relaxed) once these symptoms started with my second. A 36 weeker will be absolutely fine.
