My first "sign" of impending labor was losing parts of my mucous plug and experiencing very light bleeding (pinkish and only needing a pantyliner) for 24-36 hours before my first contraction.

I knew I was in real labor when I was jolted awake at 2:47 am in the morning with a truly horrendous contraction and had another exactly 7 minutes later...then another 7 minutes after that. lol

I'm wondering how different it will be this time around!
