Tmi diarrhea before labour? 38 weeks

Hi,
I am 38 +1 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. My first born was an induction and wasn't born until 41+6 by emergency c section so it's fair to say my experience with my ds wasn't typical and I still feel clueless
I've been having some cramps (didn't get these first time round) that are braxton hicks but I've had to go to the toilet 3 times today (very unlike me). I'm booked in for a section for a week today but am worried I won't make this date.
Did anyone have diarrhea before labour started?

I did - quite often from 38 weeks but didn’t end up having my baby until 40+5. I also had lots of braxton hicks from 36 weeks

Yes, but it was the start of labour, so baby was here within 6 hours of it.

Yes I had a "clear out" at 5am, labor started around midday and baby arrived at 4pm.

Thank you for the replies! Well no signs of anything else yet so maybe mine was a bug. I'm hoping baby stays put until c section time!
