I had tons and tons of BH on Sat and Sun but nothing I couldn't handle but did make me think - I barely had any this week just the usual 5/6  a day. From what I hear you will know for sure if its real labour pretty much - I don't think any of us are that lucky!!

True labor contractions are difficult to walk and talk through. You will know something is is going on.

TKM22 is right. We just gotta play the waiting game. You will just know. The pain will be alot with every single contraction and they should get from 5minutes apart to less.
