Pre labor?

I'm 36w3d and I have been feeling a tightness that comes and goes (I'm just bad at timing them) that comes along with slight cramps. Also for the past2 days tmi- I have had loose bowel movements followed by the tightness in my stomach. Any explanations?

I've been having this too but I'm only 25 weeks. Should I be concerned?
