Did you have any early signs of labour?

Not sure if I've posted in the right place but I'd love to hear some signs of when you went into labour.
I'm 38+4, FTM and have been having on and off period pains for the last week or so. They are mainly in my lower back and radiate round my sides. Also today I keep feeling the need to poop but nothing comes out! Does this sound like it could be soon? Or is it wishful thinking?
Last midwife appt I was 3/5 engaged and she said it was likely he was going to stay there. I am fully aware this doesn't mean labour is close but I know it's the right direction to be going in!

You could be close, I had a lot of back pain leading up to my labours and I was going to the toilet a lot, I felt like my body was getting ready by clearing stuff out Blush
Good luck!!

No clue at all! Woke up to contractions.
