False Labour

So yesterday I was having irregular contractions in the early morning that faded away to just randomly one here or there. I fully expected to wake up in the middle of the night with labour started and have to go to the hospital but instead, I woke up to less pressure, pretty much no back pain and no contractions. I understand that labour can be false but even without contractions yesterday I was still having tons of pressure and pain when I walked. Is this normal for false labour?

we r waiting to find out, that's gonna drive me nuts too lol. I am so ready to meet the little one. I haven't had so much as a braxton hick in 2 days either :/ My first 2 pregnancies were easy peasy. This one I had morning sickness and spotting, I have dilated early... just weird. I wonder, because my first 2 were with my ex-husband and this one is with my current beau, if the DNA makes a difference. I thought it was more about the mother and how her body handles pregnancy... Just thinking out loud lol.

Well, my DR counts my due date as today based on a 28 day cycle, although I tend to have a 30-31 day cycle, and the ultrasound said the 19th and that is what i have been going by. The contractions were intense!  I have never had false labour, this is my 3rd child so I know what contractions feel like! This pregnancy has been so completely different from my others, I just don't know what to expect anymore!

How far along are u? Its completely normal to have pain and pressure. Just start timing ur contractions and if they become regular then call ur Dr or go into l&d. W my second I had false labor all the time..my contractions would b regular for bout an hr then just stop.:/
