HI,
I understand your question & concern.
At 37 weeks,baby starts desending down in pelvic cavity. That is why mild contractions of uterus & a bit more jelly like vaginal discharge are common at this stage of pregnancy.Delivery is occasonally possible so early. Better to rule it out with internal check up by your obstetrician.
Diarrhea with jelly like substance in stools suggests infection. Also mild abdominal pain through out day might come from bowel infection. Please consult your doctor & get proper medication for diarrhea .
Take plenty of water with sugar/ pinch of salt in it Or ORT powder in water/take rest.

Thanks.
