help!! bowel movements

Hey Ladies!! I'm 2 ways a day from my due date. Ftm no idea if I am close to going into labor or not. Some contractions, lots of gas, and stomach feeling tight. The last week I have been having some trouble pooping. It hurts to even lightly push. My stomach has having Sharp pains if I push and I don't want to force it. Drink and eat plenty of fiber and water. Is this normal toward the end? Is this a sign of labor coming soon?

Your body is focused on your baby growing so it takes all the nerves away from your intestines so you can't feel when you have to go to the bathroom and when you try you digestive system is very slow.

I haven't been constipated since I changed my diet during the first trimester and increased my water in take. That's why I'm confused if it's really constipation. My stool is soft it's just my stomach pain I have been having
