Prelabour signs?

[ajsx]

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
