How did you feel prior to labor?

I'm 38 weeks 5 days, and am curious as to how people felt in the day, or days prior to going into labor. I've been experiencing more and more Braxton hicks along with cramping and back pain. I'm 2 cm dialated and 75% effaced (i know it doesn't mean much.) I also lost my mucus plug over a week ago. Started getting bloody show last night, onto this morning. I am just wondering if labor is approaching. My body is worn out, and I can't sleep any more, and am so ready to meet my little one!
