First signs of labor?

Question

Hi ladies, I’m a first time mom and I am just about 37 weeks. I’m curious, what were your first signs of labor? Back pain, vaginal pain? 
I keep having the crampy feeling and the lightning crotch, and now with some awful back pain that hit me out of nowhere, along with my vagina starting to just feel a little sore. 
Let me know your experiences ladies, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!!

Answer

I had no signs, I was extremely uncomfortable for the entire 3rd trimester there was no difference between how I felt two months before labor started & the day before other than that my belly was bigger :) I had an appointment with a nurse practitioner at my OB’s office at 39weeks 1day & she was like “I have a feeling it will be soon” at 2am the next morning I woke up surprised I was feeling contractions, so she knew but I definitely didn’t!

My water broke all over the hallway at work 🤷🏻‍♀️ pants soaked, puddle on the floor like the movies

Answer

I woke up
Uncomfortable and off. Had back pain and cramping in my back all day. Sure enough after work my contractions started and I had full blown back labor for two days before baby arrived

Answer

I had all of that from like 37 weeks. 40+2 I lost my mucus plug and my water broke that evening.
