Prelabour signs?

Just curious as to what pre labour signs people have experienced?

My bump has fell incredibly heavy and much lower the past few days! Started to feel sick of a night time and the discharge I'm producing is just far too much! Also my boobs have began to leak much more. 34 weeks today. Anyone else had anything like this ? Interested to see what everyone else has had pre labour rather than just reading from the NHS site

I got Branxton hicks a lot and a few period pains loads of discharge as I'd had 2 sweeps as I was 40 plus 6 when I gave birth, she stopped moving as she was prepping to come out and I bled a hell of a lot as I lost my plug really slowly, I was really uncomfortable and she was heavy only once waters were broken

My waters went and i went into labour 1 week ago at 31 weeks. I felt baby drop very low a few days before and was getting a lot of pain and pressure down below and achey legs for 2 days before my waters went I was vomiting a lot and constantly felt thirsty and had what felt like the day before your period cramps. I also noticed that I had an increase in discharge but thought nothing of it, it was the doctor at the hospital that told me they are very common pre labour signs

I had no braxton hicks or anything of the sort. A week before i went into labour I experienced intense pain in lower abdomen but it wen away after 2 hours or so. When I actually did go into labour i felt that painagain only it was coming in waves and intensifying. The pain was concentrated under my bump and in my legs. Until the very end that was all i felt. I could not feel any contradictions. I was told it's rare but normal. Everyone is different. Good luck!

Oh, and by the way you are very likely to open your bowels a lot when you are in early labour. This maybe tmi but it's a very common sign. Also my waters did not brake, no discharge either.

I was 41 weeks, had a sweep by the midwife and 2 days later I thought I had a big discharge and that my plug went off so I went to the hospital and it was nothing, they had me there for a while, made some exams and they sweeped me again and said I was 3cm dilated but sent me home... they called me the next day for induction because of dilation, when I got there I was 4cm but no symptoms at all
