For me the contractions was no different from what I was already feeling earlier in the pregnancy due to preterm laboring. At 38 weeks I went in. But I noticed everytime I got a contraction I ended up in a different place and position. My leg began to shake (nerves) and I started crying. I knew then to get to the hospital. Yep I was in labor. Lol

Believe me you will know when they are real contractions. The pain starts from the back sbf works its way to the front along with your stomach tightening. It will take your breath away.what L&D told me before I went in is to make sure it was real labor to take benadryl and if I can sleep then it was false labor and if I couldn't sleep after taking it then it was real labor because nothing will take the pain away. Good luck mama!
