need help!

So on monday I have a real contrction that turned into nothing. Lost my mucus plug all thru the week. Last night had to leave a restaurant because of contractions. These are defo not braxton hicks. Get home had a bath cos the pain in my lower back and cramos were horrible then again they stopped. 39 weeks pregnant with second child. With first got induced so never experienced this. Can these false contractions go on for a while cos my god id rather them just turn into the real thing!!!

Yesterday we went walking, I had 3 contractions in about 5 min, but they were there for barely like 3 or 4 sec
It felt like sharp needle like pain in my bottom.
I am 38+6 weeks, were these contractions from your guys experience, because I never had them before yesterday?

Omg how have u done it. I would b so upset cos its sore and uncomfortable and ends with nothing! How many weeks r u now? I bet I have this and I go over  my due date. But im now at the point I cnt walk far cos pressure and pain down there cos have varicous veins in my vagina ther is a technical name lol but its causing a lot of discomfort. Feel terrivle cos I cnt do anything with my four year old as well. So if not here by 40 weeks il start trying all the usual remedies. I have said I do not want induced unleas medically needed but think im changing my mind x

Sounds  like what iv been going thru for almost a month. Prelabor  or early labor. My last set of contractions reached 10 contractions in 2 hrs and it was back contractions, painful cramping,  and belly hardening. But that was still not enough to go to L&D. Hopefully you won't be like a handful of us that have been in 1st  stage  of labor for weeks. I'm at 4 cm and fully effaced  and with all these pains and nothing.hopefully you'll have your baby soon. I'm hoping for my water to break if that.

Unfortunately false labor can go on for a while before the real thing happens. Sorry you have to go through it, it's a real pain!
