Diarrhea help!!

Ashley

I am only 36 weeks I had contractions last night for about two 1/2 hours. They never got closer than 5 mins apart and eventually went away so I went back to sleep. Today ive had diarrhea and lightening crotch all day. Is labor near?!? I went 41+4 with my first and never had any of these symptoms. So not sure what I’m experiencing here.
