Pre labour signs

Hi ladies. I am just wondering what signs you had few days or couple weeks before labour.
Signs like:
Skin brakeout
Loosing a little bit of muccus plug every day
Lower back pain
Insomnia
Loss of appetite or nausea
Or just feeling its will start in few days

Hello I had all of those apart from the skin breakout, about 2-3 days before contractions started. I also remember cold symptoms, and having an upset tummy, almost like my body was clearing itself out before it all kicked off!😂

Plug and waters all in one night. Bonfire night. Lol. Baby born 22 hours later

I didn't really have any signs like that. With my first my waters broke and then labour started a day and a half later. No other signs.
With my second I had a few contractions the day before labour started. They lasted an hour or so then stopped.

I’ve just had my 3rd and this time I started to loose my plug about 2 weeks before but the day before I went into labour I had watery blood tinged discharge. Kept telling DH she’s coming soon and I slept all day. Went to bed at midnight and I told him I wouldn’t make it though the night. She was here by 4am.

Sorry for bombarding your post. But I’m 36+4 and I’ve had diarrhoea (sorry tmi) since Thursday, lots of discharge, stomach cramps and low back pains every now and again. Do this sound like the start of something?

@Abbs1993 could well be, could be coincidence. Is the baby your first?
