How did you feel before you went into labor?

hello ladies! I'm a STM at almost 36 weeks, and I'm at risk to have baby girl early. This morning, I was in the shower and reached for the conditioner in my shower caddy, when I happened to glance down and saw the water was pink. I was horrified so I began to look for te source of the "bleeding". Nothing anywhere. I had a thought that maybe bloody show was beginning, as I've been loosing my plug.
After my shower, I got out and felt uncomfortable , menstrual like cramps.. As the days wore on, I've still had the cramps, but no other "bleeding" (and I'm not sure it was blood.. It looked like it but who knows). I feel like run down. Really run down.
I had an NST a few days ago, a cervix check, and then was told baby was -1, head down, 50% effaced and I was beginning to dialate. Doctor ordered a biophysical ultrasound next week and another check of my cervix (reason I can go early was due to cervical cancer and a LEEP to remove it so I've had to have mine monitored).
With my first, I felt great.. Never had BH or contractions.. I just had to pee a lot and then bam. Water broke and I lost my plug and contractions were 2.5 mins apart from there on out - I was 41 weeks. So all this is new to me essentially.
I've heard tell that some ladies feel really tired and run down and crampy before labor.. Curious if this was true or not

Re: How did you feel before you went into labor?
In truth I think it's probably hard to tell since we are all so exhausted from pregnancy itself at this point, I would be more "convinced" by bloody show, etc- that sounds promising!!
