Watching here! Despite expecting DC4 I'm unsure. I have had 2 inductions so no signs there.
With my other DC I had no idea until my waters broke, then had a show then contractions. Don't remember any prior build up.

I am 37 weeks today and have been getting loads of back pain, felt really sick this evening and had a bit of a bloody show. Keep getting BH and crampy pains too.

Hoping something might happen on its own
as I'm being induced at 38 weeks.

Absolutely nothing until my waters went. Both times (and both on the loo conveniently). Although with my first I did start loosing my plug the week before.

None at all, I had contractions every 2 minutes straight from the start. Both births were very quick.

None that I can remember with my first (think I had a show, but that could have been after a sweep at 10 day over that sent me into labour, a bit too early as far as I was concerned)

With the second I wasn't early either, was 10 days over with him too, but I went into labour without intervention. The only thing I remember was the bones at the bottom of my back felt like they were separating.

A few interesting signs here. I've had bad cramps all day around my front and back too!
