Hoping to go into labor soon on my own. 🤞🏼

This is my second pregnancy, and man is it totally different from my first. I’m 37 weeks and 5 days. She’s finally starting to drop. The left picture is this morning and right is from yesterday. The pains have been happening a lot more, and getting more intense. Yesterday I thought I was having an actual contraction but I didn’t have a rough one that bad again though. Been having lower back and abdominal cramping, tmi, but having more BM’s more than usual too. Hoping I go into labor on my own, otherwise I get induced in 2 weeks. 🥴 and I don’t want to do that again, as my first was awful. Lmao. What are signs that labor is near? I’m being hopeful, and I’m totally clueless as my first pregnancy was polar opposite.
