False labour on birthing ball

I've now had false labour 3 times, the first two weren't half as bad as last night. I actually started to think I was in labour. Baby is back to back so when my contractions come it's mostly in my back. I was bouncing on my birthing ball when it happened, all three times. As soon as I get off they start dying down, so now I don't know whether to keep bouncing or just not bounce at all if it's going to put me in pain for about 5 hours for nothing :-(

You could be going through prodromal labor. Your body starts labor then after several hours or just stops. I have had this going on for the last month or so, and it can be very discouraging. Stay tough and try to be patient, it ***** but it will be worth it in the end!
