pre-labor symptoms

I know the symptoms to expect when you actually are in labor, but I'm just wondering if anyone noticed anything out of the ordinary, maybe earlier in the day or the night before, right before they actually started labor.

I know dilation and effacement is no indicator, but some people mentioned the runs.  Just wondering if there's anything else that may be a symptom that I'm going to go into labor in the next day or so.

    I was induced 4 days before my edd but I think I would have gone into labor that day on my own anyways.  I was super crampy two days before to the point where when I got to the hospital I was told they were pretty strong contractions and I didn't realize it so I was already in labor...  I would say just watch for AF like cramps.

    I had some cramping in my back and abdomin like I had to poop really bad.  I ended up going to the bathroom but with no relief.  About 2 hours later the harder contractions and some light bleeding started.  Also the day before I had braxton hicks contractions all day.  They were 30 mins apart and not painful.

    I had my bloody show which lead to false labor four days before my water broke.  Other than that it was business as usual.  I did notice that I was very hungry the day my water broke.  I also had the blues that day as well which was unusual bc I was very happy throughout my pregnancy.

    Friday night I was feeling crampy in my back and on my left side. Saturday morning I had contractions that were sporadic and by Sunday morning I was in L&D.

    My vag was like an egg-white faucet. After I lost my mucus plug, I had so much egg-whitey discharge...I even called the on-call Dr. to ask if it might be my water...

    And I had a lower backache starting 2 days prior to labor.

    Then the day I had my DS, I had terrible period like cramps.
