How did labor start for you????

Question

TMI but The last two days specifically I’ve had loose stool, multiple times a day. I went walking yesterday and today my pelvic pressure has seriously increased so much, even when laying down. I had a ton of pressure in my butt for some reason, never had that before.
 I don’t know what contractions feel like, but I’ll have a few moments of feeling like it’s hard to breathe and my stomach does get tight. Ive noticed parts of my mucus plug in the toilet for last week but honestly nothing significant and no bloody show. 
 I have also been nauseous after eating literally anything and haven’t been able to eat a whole lot. 
I’ll be 38 weeks on Thursday. How did labor start for you?? Are these early labor signs?

Answer

I had what I would call an off day... I had been passing loose stools for about 2 days prior then had a day when i felt sick and headachy all afternoon. Went for a lie down about 4, woke up at 7ish feeling better and ate some toast. Got ready for bed as normal then my waters broke at 11pm.

Answer

I had Braxton Hicks for a whole week, I was still working so walking was hell for me because everything hurt. But I did have cramps everyday until my water broke a few hours after sex at 37 weeks

Answer

Induction

Answer

Two weeks before baby came I had a small amount of bleeding, but at that time wasn’t dilating or feeling contractions.
If I remember correctly I did have some diarrhea a few days before baby came. I also had a burst of energy followed by feeling generally kind of weird and tired for a few days. 
When early labor was starting I did have mucous discharge with little bits of pink blood in it. But my water never ended up breaking and I didn’t lose a full mucous plug that I know of

Answer

I woke up needing to pee and when I stood to go to the bathroom, my water broke. With my first AND my second. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No other signs before that and took time (2 1/2 days with my first and about 10 hours with my second) to get anything else happening. Could be a sign of labor getting close, but could be not too.
