UPDATE! Are these contractions or labor? (TMI)
I am 34 weeks (measuring nearly 38) and the past few days my stomach has been cramping and realeasing. It doesn't feel like the contractions I had before (but those were little contractions, so anything would be different.) These cramps are actually in my stomach area, pretty high. I drink gallons of water per day, so I'm not dehydrated. They make me double over in pain, then they release. I have also been a pooping machine over the past week. Not diarhea, but the biggest poop I've ever had.  Should I call the doctor? Is my elephant getting close to coming?
UPDATE:
I am not in labor, but I'm getting closer. They did many tests and he told me to take it easy over the next few days. Thanks for answering my questions!!!!

I've always heard that when the #2's start coming, its your body preparing you for birth!

Sounds to me like you *may* be in the early stages of labor.
Did your doctor call back yet?

FINALLY I got called. They are okay with the fact that they are sporatic. I get a few within 10 minutes, then 30 minutes with nothing. I'm heading in now. Doesn't sound like this is it.

It did not for me. But towards the end, BMs increase.
Are the contractions regular? Did you time them? Do they stop if you move position.
My BH were hurting me. Most people told me they did not.
