What are your pre-labor symptoms?

For those of us still anxiously awaiting DD - Are you experiencing any pre-labor symptoms? Let us know what week you are, what they are and how long you've been experiencing them. List form is better so we don't have to read novel posts. Examples: Dropping, pressure, loss of mucous plug, bloody show, increase in BH, backache, energy level, etc. If you've had your cervix checked and feel like sharing those deets as well that would be awesome (dilation, effacement, etc.).
Re: What are your pre-labor symptoms?
I'm not dilated either.
I'm 38w4d.
More pressure.
Cramps.
Lost mucus plug yesterday.
Stomach feels tight.
Body aches and just want to be in a pool.
1 cm and 50% effaced on Monday (we will see what, if any, changes occur down there on Monday
Pressure
MP partially gone
Cramps, off and on
Head is low but not fully engaged
Low back pain, starting today
Only 25% effaced and no dilation.

3 cm

Baby head is right there but bouncy not quite engaged.
Having tons of contractions but that is not new.
I went between 36
And a half and 38 weeks with my other three so I am hoping this one will be the same:)
BH since week 16.
I got nothing else. No checks at the doc.
DD was 40+3 and I felt nothing until I was already 5cm dilated and 5 minute contractions. I'm assuming that could happen again!
Nausea, decreased appetite, diarrhea this morning, fatigue, trouble sleeping, increased irritability, hip and back pain, lots of BH and some period like cramping, think a little mucous plug is starting to fall out, baby is low. Having a "feeling" it'll happen soon, but that could just be optimism.

...To be fair, with DS, I had no symptoms and lost my mucus plug the morning of my due date and he was born within 12 hours, so I guess I'm not really all that worried :-)
Nothing really
But I had nothing w/DS then it hit and was to the finish line from there.
NP opted not to check me at my Thursday appt since I wasn't technically 38 weeks yet.... So no idea what's brewing in the lady bits but hopefully something because I have def had an increase in the yucky symptoms this week ( nausea vomiting heartburn indigestion-- not related to the stomach virus I caught Monday)
Seriously hoping I don't have 2 4th of July babies. One is enough lol.
Frequent bm
Frequent urination
Excessive heartburn/reflux/nausea and feeling like I could vomit at any moment
Insane sleeping pattern/extreme exhaustion
General "heavy" feeling in my entire torso
Popping pelvis/hips if I'm sitting or laying too long
Lightning crotch that's come back with a vengeance/10-20 minutes at a time 6-7 times a day
And since last week I have an hour or two of contractions every day at some point, usually after my walk. All of them painful and on intervals but they always stop
Increased discharge but no difference in texture/color at all
Was at 50% effaced with no dilation a week and a half ago, get checked again on thursday
