Every pregnancy is different. However, there are some very common signs that labor is near. The start of labor might only be 24-48 hours away when you experience these early labor signs. Besides real contractions, other clear signs that labor is coming soon are the loss of the usually slightly bloody mucus plug or loss of amniotic fluid. In addition, you might notice rather unspecific changes, the so-called soft signs of labor. They simply indicate that labor is approaching very soon.
