Diarrhoea in 3rd trimester?

Has anyone else has issues with diarrhoea in the third trimester? During my last pregnancy I only had it for 1 week before then going into labour with my daughter at 39 weeks. I’m now 32 weeks and have had it for 2 weeks now. I’m keeping hydrated and can’t think of anything that is triggering it so wondering whether this is a normal pregnancy symptom for some? Thanks.

I've had it on and off for a couple weeks now since around 32 weeks (36+4 now)
I think it's pretty normal tbh but have you maybe picked up a bug? I see it as my bodies way of slowly getting ready for the big day

i've been having it too (after constipation in 2nd trimester, so while I wouldn't say it's welcome it's not entirely unwelcome), from about 34/35 weeks or so? I'm now 38.5 weeks pregnant - can't think of any other reason.
i think i had it in my last pregnancy too, but don't remember.

I get it on and off, I read somewhere that this is your body getting ready to be clear for labour.
