body preparing for labor?

I'm currently 32 weeks... the last 2 weeks I've had diarrhea almost every day, at least once a day afterI eat. I've also been nauseous on and off... is this my body preparing for labor? The baby is very healthy... measuring at almost 5 lbs. He is moving constantly... has anyone else experienced this?

Yes its mostly due to the sudden increase in more hormones in preparation of labor, be sure to stay hydrated since you loose a lot of fluids from diarrhea
