With DS1 i went for a walk around the block and had a few twinges but just put this down to the fact that i was going for a walk and i was over 39 weeks pregnant. That night i went to bed and had the slightest of twinges that would come and go. Woke up at 2am and they were still there and stronger, had a show and things progressed from there...

With DS2 i'd had 2 or 3 days of twinges but i wouldn't call them contractions or braxton hicks. Woke up as DH was getting ready for work on the 4th morning, i felt nothing at all and thought nothing more of it. Had a shower and was drying myself and saw a trickle that i had no feeling or control over drop down from between my legs. I had no pain or contractions at all. Had a GP appt booked in anyway so went to that and was sent to hospital from there as i had merconium in my waters. Was starting to feel contractions by the time we were arriving at the hospital.
