preterm labor advice?

Any other moms have issues with preterm labor? I was in the hospital at 28 weeks having contractions, im already 50% faced and a lil over a cm dilated. They were able to stop the labor but told me i had to be on bed rest. Im 32 weeks now and im just wondering how ill know when im in real labor? I have back pain constantly and i dont notice when i have contractions all the time. Anyone else experience this? Or something like it?

Yes with my first pregnancy I experienced preterm labor and had my son 4wks early. And I'm pregnant again, stated having contractions about a month ago, I'm 2cm and 80% effaced. My first pregnancy I didn't know what's contraction was so I went to the hospital at 4cm they stopped it and I was on bed rest up until I had him at 36wks. This time around I'm having a girl, they put me on bed rest at 30wks and now were just waiting it out.
