Hi I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second.with my first I didn't go into labour by myself so I'm feeling abit confused.
Yesterday morning I was having the period pain like feelings in my back and strong painful contractions. They went away and I was fine for the rest of the day. At 10.20 I was in bed and started getting strong contractions again and at first they were every 10 mins lasting about 1 min each. But then I fell asleep and they must have tapered off for a bit. But I woke lots of times in the night having them, then 4am this Morning I was having them but irregular but quite painful. Now they have gone again.
I don't understand what is happening I thought it was the start of something last night. I tried to reach my cervix and It's so high up and can't feel if it's hard etc.
Is this false labour? Do you think it means my body is trying to prepare?
