Can Braxton Hicks cause diarrhea?

This is the 3rd night in a row I have woken up in the middle of the night with diarrhea. This is not normal for me, I have never woken up to have a bowel movement before.

The diarrhea is accompanied with abdominal cramping which wakes me up a few times before I have to go to the bathroom.

Could the cramping be Braxton Hicks at all?

Ngl I thought it was the other way around! Your body is likely trying to empty itself to prepare for labour but the turmoil of it can cause your body to contract?
