What's the first symptom of labor?

Question

I'm a FTM and I'm in the last few weeks. I know the baby could come any time. But I think I'm trying to be hyper-sensitive about everything. 
What am I actually looking for? Broken water? Contractions? Something else? Does it always go in order?

Answer

I found contractions.  I lost my mucus plug first but baby still didn’t come for 3 days! 
My Ob said a seriously small amount of people actually have naturally broken water.  
So for me I was sitting at home thinking I was in false labour.   I used a contraction counting app and thought it was broken.   It wasn’t haha.   
So I went in and sure enough was having contractions!

Answer

Probably pain that’s becoming unbearable to manage at home really. 
You may start displaying signs in the weeks/days leading up to it but you may not, everybody is different. Some ladies waters don’t break at all and need to have help with them & some ladies don’t lose a mucus plug until they’re in active labour

Answer

My first was I felt sick. Just like really yucky, on the couch super tired and nauseous. Started loosing my mucous plug in big globs through out the day. Some mild diarrhea. Went into labor that night.
