False labor

Has anyone had super intense false labor?! I've been having contractions every 5-10 minutes that last about 1 minute long for about 4 hours. (I'm using the 3-1-1 rule so not going to hospital until contractions are 3 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute, for at least 1 hour). But I've read that falls labor can also be intense and last hours??!

40 weeks FTM

I mean, how intense are we talking? You might want to go in… or at least call labor and delivery. My contractions were actually pretty far apart at some points when I was about to give birth.

@Jessie I cannot talk or think straight during them

Uhhh girl that sounds like real labor. I’ve been having false labor contractions (painful like have to stop what I’m doing and breathe through it) but it’s never been consistent or followed any kind of timing. I’m 38 weeks. If you’re 40 weeks it’s probably just actual labor

@Emily thank you! After reading about false labor, I've been gaslighting myself thinking this can't be it yet lol

You are in labour ring maternity to let then no as they may want you to go in as your a first time mum

It sounds like you should go in! Go have that baby!

It can also be early labor. Early labor can last for days!
