As someone that never gets period pains (I know I’m very blessed, practically have pain free periods) I am worried that I’m going to be in the early stages of labor and not even know it. Last pregnancy, I never lost my mucus plug( haven’t lost it this pregnancy either so far, I am 37w6d) and my water never “broke” (I had woken up to the smallest wet spot on the bed that I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if I wore underwear that night) and I managed to get pretty dilated (6-7cm?) before I started feeling intense back pain and then got an epidural. So other than just like consistent pain, is there any other signs I should look out for that could mean early Labor?
