Signs you were going into labour

[Strawberryshortcake28]

35 weeks here and getting uncomfortable first dd

Before you went into labour did you have any indication that your baby was coming or did your water just break ?

My baby is head down
Have a sharp pain on my left hand side
Can't eat as I get full so easy my stomach is so crushed keep being sick in my mouth

Had a few pains down my side and around my bump

Baby is moving and kicking like mad
String pressure on my pelvis urge to pee
Feel like I'm about to bust

Is this just the norm what signs should I look out fo

Epic waters breaking after nearly two weeks late 😂

Shouldn't hyperactive movements be checked the same as reduced movements?

My first sign was needing to poo. All the time. Like, every half hour and bad back ache.

Induced with my first. With my second I'd had crampy niggles for a few days then realised I was in labour. I was in labour 56 hours 🙈 I'm currently 37+4 with my third and am hoping labour starts on it's own soon. I've not felt any of the he crampy niggles yet that I did last time. Very uncomfortable though.

I was 11 days overdue with my first. She had been engaged in my pelvis for weeks and weeks and was 2/3cm dilated for 2 weeks prior.
At this stage I was just fed up and thinking she's never going to come!
Was pretty tired so took myself to bed at 9pm. Had mild cramping like period pains, so called down to my partner joking that this may be labour. Went loo and had my bloody show. Few hours later dd1 was born :)
Waters didn't break until her head was halfway out and I had to stand up to get in the wheelchair to be taken to delivery (they left me on my own and I didn't realise the intense feeling of needing to poo was baby's head coming haha)

I'm currently 40 weeks today with dd2 and looking for any signs of labour and crossing my fingers haha
