Sounds like it. Congrats! :) You can sometimes get diarrhea as well as your body prepares for labor. Remember to rest and stay really well-hydrated.

This sounds like natures way of preparing your back and stomach ligaments for the onset of labour. Now is the time to make sure your bag is packed and ready to go. Put your feet up and try and get as much sleep as you can as you are about to enter the sleep deprevation zone! Good luck with the birth I hope all goes well.

Pre-Labour is what it sounds like to me. This is likely a sign that your cervix is thinning (effacement) and stretching out (dilating) this will cause cramping and aches in your lower back that stretch around to your lower abdomen. My advice is to walk around a lot, take a warm bath, get some rest and alternate between all of the above. lol
My bet is that you are probably already about 2-3 cm dilated, and your body is gearing up for the big show!!!
Good Luck and keep us posted!
