38 weeks and diarrhea

Te
I'm 38 weeks today, and for the past few days I've constantly had diarrhea. Every time I eat a meal my bowels get very unhappy and I feel unwell, and end up in the bathroom. My mother says it's my system cleaning itself out in preparation for birth. Is anyone else's body doing this? Or something similar? And is it normal?
