No signs for me. My first was water breaking first. My second was just waking up to mild period cramps which triggered diarrhea and then I was kind of watching and waiting and was able to notice a gradual increase in pain and eventually I lost my mucus plug while on the the toilet. No bloody show with taht baby. Guess my cervix remembered

Not really. My water broke at 2 am and we left for the hospital at 3:30. Baby boy was born at 8 pm that night

I was induced with my 1st and 3rd baby, but spontaneous labor with my 2nd.
Absolutely no signs. I was 40w3d and randomly woke up with back contractions at 3am and he was born at 6pm.

Absolutely nothing! I was having movie night with my kids and just sitting on the couch around 7:15 and my water broke! You never know ����♀️

no signs other than slight cramping randomly the days leading up to labor. But I didn’t know it was related (and maybe it wasn’t lol)

I had some mild cramping both times, but with my first it lasted for 4 days and with my second it was a couple weeks, so being "near" labour is kind of subjective. I had bloody show but it was also ongoing with the cramping with my first, and I noticed it with my second after I was already in labour.
