It feels the urge that I need to poop but when I go to the bathroom, nothing comes out. I've been having braxton hicks contractions for about 5 days now... (37 1/2 weeks pregnant)

It's the pressure of your uterus pushing most likely

Sounds like you may be constipated. Talk to your doctor about constipation relief during pregnancy.

Yeah constipation is common that far along. Oh the good old days that seem like a faded memory
You may want to go get checked out at your local L&D department. Pressure like feeling you may have to "poop" can sometimes be associated with labor

Some people told me that it was constipation and then my MIL said it might be an early labor sign. I just wanted everyone's opinion :) Thank you ladies
As a labor and delivery nurse I can tell you that it may be an early labor sign.
