Contractions all night then nothing?

Started with what I thought were the early period pain type contractions (I have a son and this is how my labour started with him at 39 weeks) at about 2:00am last night.

They quickly came every 15-20 mins probably lasting 50 secs on average all the way from 2-7am. Then the pattern stopped!

Sometimes when I stand up I get so much pressure in my bottom it kind of kicks a contraction off again?!

Can these even be early contractions? False labour? It just felt exactly like it did with my son - I had all my contractions in my bum/ back even though he wasn't back to back.

Not had any other signs really except from increased discharge but no mucus plug etc

Ahhh!! Any advice?! TIA

Hello

I had this for over a week - the midwife said it was prodromal labour. It happened over night.

I kept really active and took the dogs on a really long walk. My waters broke and baby arrived.
