Apparently increased menstrual - like cramps can be a sign, increased Braxton Hicks that are stronger before real contractions start. You may lose part or all of your mucous plug/have your "bloody show," you may notice the baby drop lower, increased nausea and diarrhea are possible as your body gets ready. Your doctor, of course, will let you know about signs like a change in the baby's station (or position in the pelvis as s/he moves lower), dilation, effacement,  and the alignment of your cervix. "Nesting" is also usually a sign that you're getting nearer to labor too.

As for your 3rd question: I have not actually gone in to labor yet (though we're impressed I wasn't in labor last night) and am actually on bed rest and in the process of doctors trying to investigate symptoms of and prevent preterm labor because I'm only pseudo-guaranteed to make it to 35 weeks without going into active labor. I've had prelabor symptoms for a week and a half.

I just had my daughter Sunday at 37 weeks.  I jumped up and down the night before and had sex with my boyfriend cow girl style.  That morning as soon as I woke up and got out of bed my water broke.  Idk if the sex and jumping helped but I defiantly had results after.

Common early signs of labor are loose stool, contractions, some women notice there mucus plug or bloody show.

Honestly I wouldn't try to go doing a bunch of things to induce yourself. It only makes u more impatient and frustrated when it doesn't work. Today is my due date and I'm not dilated at all. I've done raspberry tea, evening primrose oil, walking and an excersise ball and none of it has worked. Baby will come when your body is ready! Good luck

Idk early signs besides contractions. Right now you can start inserting 1 epo vaginally a night then at 37 weeks up it to 3-5 vaginally a night. That's what I did oh and I drank lots of raspberry leaf tea to tone my uterus. Then at 37+6 I took castor oil had my son at 38 exactly. It was a quick and decently easy natural labor.
