excessive gas/pooping more frequently

Stacy • Married 9-6-14!! Have an amazing 7 year old boy and a 2.5 year old girl. Due with baby 3 6/24/19
Did anyone have excessive gas and need to poop more often then gone into labor soon?  I went 3 times yesterday which is a lot for me and I have been super gassy the last day or so. I know that your bowels clean out before labor but I've never heard of being gassy before as well.
