Hello I would be happy to help.

Labor is defined as regular contractions that are changing your cervix. If you are not changing your cervix, then you are not in preterm labor. If this is not the case, then the pain you describe is very likely related to something else, like your bowels. Constipation would cause the types of symptoms you are experiencing. And if the baby is not moving normally, you need to contact your doctor immediately for evaluation of the fetus and fluid volume around the fetus (in the sac).

I hope that this helps and good luck!
