How did you feel before going into labour?

Hi ladies, I've heard a lot of stories of women having signs (that they weren't aware were signs until afterward) that labour was going to start soon, eg diorrhea, sudden burst of energy, generally feeling "off". And since I'm 36 weeks and the doctors have said because of my baby's size and head engagement among other things he could come any time from now on, I'm just wanting to hear some of your experiences.. What were the first indicators that labour was imminent for you? How long until contractions actually started? Did you do anything that you think worked to try and naturally induce your labour?
