Just before the labour

Hi mamas! Question to the ones whom already had a baby or had baby before. Was there anything day or two before you went into labour that you could tell was a sign or part of it? Like I don't know feeling sick, pooping a lot, being more hungry then usual, more tired than usual? ...

I had no change in anything. I went for my weekly checkup and I was dilated to 4. My doctor sent me to the hospital and I had my baby 5 hours later with no contractions that I could feel until an hour before delivery. Needless to say, I am a little nervous about having this baby at home or on the way to the hospital.

With my first, i felt absolutely nothing. And she came 2 weeks early. I didnt have braxton hicks, or anything like that. I woke up at 5am and i just felt like i had to poop and i would get up every 10 minutes and nothing. The pain got worse, and i started to feel it every 5 minutes, thats when it hit me that it was time. This pregnancy im 38w 5d and ive already dilated to 3cm and have had tons of braxton hicks. Everyone is different. Just look up signs of labor do u have an idea of what to look for. Sorry this was so long.
