Some women do have a bit of diahrrea before labor starts or in very early labor, but it certainly can be just from stomach upset. Low pressure, especially with walking, is pretty common towards the end of pregnancy.

Certainly with a history of preterm births, it would be wise to keep your midwife or doctor informed of any possible changes. They would much rather you be checked and it be nothing than to have you dismiss something.
If it continues, check in with them. If you notice any cramping that comes and goes... like contractions, let them know.
