this morning I woke up and had a loose stool and then since then the baby has been moving a lot, so thats making me think that I'm not in labor or anything...I was just wondering if anyone has had similar things happen?...My abdomen has felt uncomfortable and the last few braxton hicks I've had over the few days have went from uncomfortable to actually hurting...should I go in or just not really worry about it? my second baby.

it depends on how far along you are. you know your body and would know if there is anything seriously not right..
The baby is moving which is a good thing :) you know your little bupper is ok.
I would call my advice nurse to see what they say. Most of the time they tell me to monitor for a few hours, relax, and if there is no change, then to call back and come in. and of course, if there are more then 6 contractions in one hour go right to the emergency room.
Over the past few weeks my abdomen has become tighter and tighter and makes it hard to walk some days. like i have gas bubbles on top, bottom and kicks coming from all sided.
if it would help ease your peace of mind go in. it cant hurt (just think of it as a practice run)

If the contractions have become regular like 5 min apart then i would say it's good to go to the hospital.
If there irregular than there's nothing the doc can really do but encourage you to wait it out and go back if the contractions do become regular.
I remember with my first baby i started having irregular contractions but they became more intense the closer they got together. If your in a lot of pain than you should have it checked out. They may need to induce labor, that happened to me.
It won't hurt to actually know.

I would say that you should keep track of the time from when to when you feel the pains. If you start feeling them about every hour then I would say contact your doctor and just let him know, he might think it is time to come in. Congrats on baby. You will be holding your beautiful baby soon

How far along are you?
Have you ruptured your membranes?
Passed your mucus plug ?
Do your BH get better or worse with rest ?
Were you dialated at your last MD visit?
We need more info ..call your doctor is the best advice I can give you.

You didn't mention how far along you are.
Speak to your health professional.
If in doubt just go in, you never know.
Good Luck!
