Signs before Labor

Whitney
Mothers, what were the signs you saw before labor?? And by this I'm not asking about the mucus plug and dilation. 
I'm currently 40-6 with and induction scheduled for 41-1. I had my membranes swept when I was 40-2, 2 centimeters (been this way for 3 or 4 weeks). I lost my mucus plug later that evening. 
This morning I woke up and took a shower and ate breakfast && went back to sleep for about 2 hours. When I woke up I realized I had a lot of discharge. I know being pregnant increases your discharge but this was more than normal. I believe that I've read somewhere that discharge is a common factor before labor, as well as frequent bowel movements. I also know that every persons body is different. But could you share your experiences please?? 
Am I jus making this up?? Do I have false hope??
