Sorry for bringing this up......but I have been going to the bathroom heaps in the past few days, and I don't mean no.1's. They are also getting less firm.

Could this be preparation for labour and my body trying to evacuate my bowels?

Also, I don't know if they are pre-labour symptoms, but I have had, what feel like diarrhea cramps and feeling nauseous the past three days. Could this again be my body preparing? If so, how long in advance do these things usually happen?
