I'm 35 weeks with twins ive been having some mini contractions a little worst then braxton hicks for the past two days, today ive had to go the bathroom with diarrhea i'm wondering if this is a sign that labor is around the corner

Diarrhea can be a sign of impending labor. It's your body's way of cleaning every thing out before the big event. The diarrhea can actually trigger contractions and make them worse.
