Cramping/diarrhea 39 weeks 3 days

I will be 40 weeks on 11/16. I have been experiencing period like cramps for for the past week. Tonight my cramps are pretty bad but they come and go. I also had a bout of diarrhea tonight. I have no bleeding and the baby has been pretty active. Also my last appoint I measured 37 weeks, but my appointment before that I was measuring right on dot. My midwife said this could be because I am dropping. Anyways, any suggestion as to what's going on? Is this labor or preparing my body for labor?

Consider it both.. your body getting ready and labor is soon to come. It's all up to your baby to get in position for delivery. Good luck
