Could you share your signs that labour wasn't far off?
I'm 37 weeks and absolutely exhausted, and also uncomfortable. I have suspected that I might be a week or so further on all the way through my pregnancy but 37 weeks from scans. The reason I suspect it is that by my LPM date I would have been due at the beginning of June, although I do have long cycles. I could also feel baby moving at 13 weeks which most people were shocked by.

Baby has now dropped and head is engaging (was 4/5 at 36 week mw appointment so possibly now 3/5?), I have quite a lot of lower back pain, very uncomfortable braxton hicks, but the newest one is how low down, heavy and tight my bump feels. To the point where I actually have to support it walking around. Have had discharge all the way through pregnancy (Sorry for tmi) so unsure about an increase in this. Definitely not had a show yet.

I shouldn't wish the end of pregnancy will hurry up were any of these signs for you that labour wasn't far off?

I was 37 weeks when we went for a walk and I ended up feeling really faint. I had to wait for DH to pick me up in the car, and made a stop for chocolate and coke. Woke up at 5am the next day with my waters broken. I'm sure it was connected. I did start losing the plug a couple of weeks before though.
