The first time I had menstrual like cramps and was spotting, then the lower back pain started, I had back labor. My water broke about 20 hours after all of that started.

Second time, I had an increase in diarrhea the day (more than usual)  I went into labor and a ridiculous cleaning rage (I vacuumed 3X that day) My contractions were turning into real ones, not BH anymore. No bleeding, no increase in discharge, just knew it was time.

The only signs I had were diarrhea for 2 days, lower back pain, some minor contractions (nothing painful) and bloody discharge. If I didn't go in to be checked, I would not have known I was 5cm that day. An hour after my appt. I was in labor for sure. Your time is coming very soon!!
