What were your signs of labor coming?

This is my second pregnancy, I’m 38 and 3 today. My first pregnancy I felt absolutely nothing and very normal until the first contraction came and they never stopped- just turned into labor. This time I feel so different. I can’t tell if all the things I’m feeling are signs of labor coming soon or just second pregnancy type things I’ve been hearing the whole time -“you feel so much more with the second one”.

So what did you guys feel like before going into labor? And how long before labor did you feel it?
