Hey ladies silly but curious question

Ok ladies, I know nothing means something, and something can be nothing in pregnancy lol.  This is my 2nd baby, but with my first I didn't go into labor I just had a c-section.  I'm 32wks, already been hospitalized once for contractions.  Ok now that the back story is out of the way lol
Over the past week I've started to have increased nausea through the day (i thought,"eh, baby is squashing my stomach."), then about three days ago I started losing bits of my mucus plug (which I didn't put much thought into, you lose/generate it all the time), then the same day I noticed my plug, I started (TMI alert!) Getting diarrhea!  Three days of it, and I haven't really changed my diet as I've gone to no family functions this year for easter :-(.  I've also noticed my belly has dropped, but I don't think she's in birthing position because there is hardly any pressure change, and I can feel she's still breech (but she flips at least once a week.. Ow.).
All this stuff on it's own I really wouldn't put much thought into... But now that I've realized they're all kinda coming together at one time, I wonder if I should MAAAYBE put the.finishing touches on my hospital bag.... Even though I'm supposed to have another  c-section... What would happen if I went into labor the next couple weeks with out it being scheduled?  I personally would wait until I almost got to the pushing passe just because then I could say,"oops! Looks like I might as well just push her out instead of you guys giving me meds to stall it and prep a surgical room, and page anesthesiology, ect.ect." Lol I'm so evil lol

You maybe have a bit of a tummy bug or maybe IBS, I developed it when I had my first, diahorrea and bowel cramps were my main symptoms and it is mainly brought on by stress (which I know you've had a lot of!) If you can visibly see your tummy contracting then its labour but if not its most likely bowel cramps. Hope you feel better :)

it's not horrid ,"omg I'm stuck in the bathroom all day" bms.  But whenever I do have one it's liquid.  But I drink almost two gallons of water a day so I'm not worried about dehydration lol. There's really nothing I can do at this point as it's easter, I think if I start having contractions (more than for in an hour), I'll probably head over to l&d.  But I don't feel "contracty", just gassy lol.

Definitely get the new Dr to check you... if you are progressing then maybe he/she may do the injections just as a precaution... but also if you are porgressing he/she may want to closer monitor you(could mean admit you)  but the injections would be worth it if baby does show early... giving her a better chance with less complications....

But i do see your point! that would be awesome if you were so far along that it would be stupid to have to go for the c section....

No I haven't.  I just switched OBs because I felt like I was being treated like an illiterate fool with my other (and my specialist too). They've never even mentioned them.
I start seeing my new ob this tuesday (yay!)

lol thats a good question... i know my coworkers neice just had a vag birth after having TWO prev C sections... so the chance of a Dr allowing that must have truly been the easiest/best at that time and maybe she was readly when she got there... it would be awesome if you showed up and had progressed enough that it was best to continue :) just hopefully not quite yet... say another month... and a week if possible :) have you had steroid injections at all? it would be nice to have them as precaution if your body is getting ready...
