Symptoms in the few days before labour

[Bells3032]

36 weeks today and bored lol. With my daughter my first symptom was my waters breaking..then cramps for two days that eventually ramped up..

What were other people's symptoms just before?? Did your Braxton hicks increase? A certain pain? Change in anything else. Just curious

Going for a poo escalated from 1 every few days to about 3 times a day in the days leading up to Labour.
Also pain and pressure on my cervix.

I'm symptom watching like crazy 39 weeks on my first. I had my first show a week ago and third today. Definitely more pressure and lower back ache. On a number of evenings I've had frequent but mild tightenings and period cramps, hoping they'll keep going and get stronger but they just fizzle out. I am so incredibly tired like can't keep my eyes open. And I think more irritable than usual. Hoping these are all good signs but maybe it's wishful thinking🤞🏼😂

I had contractions for a week before but ignored them as I thought they couldn't possibly mean anything! The day before I went into labour I felt extremely sick, like beginning of pregnancy sick again. That was the big tell

No symptoms until the day I went into labour! Never really had BH. I lost my mucus plug early evening, labour started that night and my DD was born the next day. Waters didn't break until I was pushing.
