No mucus plug or losing leaking but deliver
For moms who had their babies, whether by C-section or natural birth, but didn't lose their mucus plug or experience fluid leakage, how did you know it was time? What signs did you have that made you go to the hospital?

Just really consistent contractions
Contractions that were 2-3 mins apart and bloody show. I should have gone in sooner, but last labour was 40 hours and it had only been 5 hours, with contractions not lasting a minute. I arrived at hospital at 930pm, baby was here 10:03pm. Also almost gave my husband a coronary saying I wanted to poop in the car, he knew that meant she would be here very soon.
I did lose my mucus plug both times but my water never broke on its own. I knew it was time to go in because contractions were getting more and more painful (at first I could talk and laugh through them, they got to a point I couldn't and had to lean over something). They also got closer together (less than 5 minutes apart).

Diarrhea for a week, and bloody show the morning of. That night I had cramping and then tunable contractions
