General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
- You are in 32nd week of pregnancy.Frequent stomach cramping with back ache & feeling pressure on bowels resulting into desire to defecate... appears to be beginning of labor. BUT it can also be following constipation or indigestion with lot of gasses,creating bloating/ stretching of abdomen & rest symptoms.OR This is time when head of baby enters in pelvic cavity
_ as far the damp panties are concerned.. it can be rupture of membrane BUt in later months of pregnancy vaginal discharge is substantially increased giving the symptom.
If it is due to leaking , the water discharge will increase with coughing/ straining
* IN this ssenario, I would suggest a consultation of your treating doctor. A simple physical check would confirm the cause & can be followed by specific management.
Thanks.
