2 contractions 12 mins apart and now nothing. What was it? !

Hiya. I'm booked for a csec in 2 days on my due date.
I've had a very straightforward pregnancy.
This morning I was in asda with my 2 year old and got my first contraction. It literally stopped me in my tracks, I couldn't move and was bent over the trolley. It stopped after about 10 seconds (felt like longer) and I felt absolutely fine again. Exactly 12 mins later the same thing happened again, at which point I boycotted my shop and came home.
Since I got back nothing has happened! Now I don't know what to think. No waters have leaked etc, it was just those.

With my first I had a contraction which again was pretty unmistakable, the next followed 1 min later and again a minute after that and I was in full blown labour. I never had any of this "am I / aren't i"!
Does this mean that may well have just been it now and my csec weds will still be achievable?
Thanks for any advice

Hi sorry no advice but how did you get on? X

False labour. Braxton hicks contractions aren't always just uncomfortable or a bit painful, sometimes they can really hurt.

Thanks both. Got my csec tomorrow morning, those 2 fake contractions blooming hurt! But nothing since. Thank you :)
