For some women, yes, it is. It can be a sign that your body is emptying out your bowels to prepare for labor. Also, the contracting bowels can sometimes help along the contractions of the uterus, so it could possibly help labor along!

Many women do experience diarrhea, or the need to have a bowel motion during labour. For some, this happens early during labour, before they really know that they are in labour, and for others it happens later on, towards the pushing stage. It is a normal part of labour, because a full rectum can prevent the descent of the baby's head, so the body gets rid of it so it doesn't cause problems.

Yes, definitely. Many women describe early labour as period-like cramping.
