Braxton hicks or real labour?
Does braxton hicks suppose to make you feel like youre having strong menstrual cramps/the feeling of pooping? Or is it real labour?

When it comes your belly will feel really hard. Comes and goes. Try to change position or drink water. Normally these 2 methods will make it go away. Contractions does make you feel like pooping when it gets intense. And no matter what you do that feeling stays and it gets intense by time. Better call the hospital to let them know how you're feeling.
