Real contractions, but they don't build. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/false-labor#post-2337499 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:53:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2337499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just had it a couple days ago! timeable, regular contractions for about 8 hours, but they never progressed beyond what felt like early labor for DD2. and now there hasn't been anything for the last 3 days! blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/false-labor#post-2337433 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 16:52:46 +0000 travellingbee 2337433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly like @daniellemybelle: said. They were painful and timeable but not as painful as real labor. Then they just stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/false-labor#post-2337412 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 16:26:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 2337412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had false labor for 5 days. It felt like the real thing, because I had never felt the real thing, and then once I felt the real thing, I was like, "Oh, that definitely wasn't the real thing." Ha. But it still hurt horribly - I couldn't sleep. Timeable contractions that were just not close enough together or strong enough to cause dilation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/false-labor#post-2337401 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 16:11:03 +0000 littlejoy 2337401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From friend's experience ... it sounds like it seems like the real thing, then stops. Timeable contractions (maybe a little further apart than the ideal, and not as consistent). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/false-labor#post-2337338 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 15:21:42 +0000 mediagirl 2337338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone experience false labor? What was it like? </p> <p>I'm curious because I had 0 labor pains before I went into actual labor. I wonder what women feel when they go into false labor - is it like the real thing and then it stops? Or is it different? </p>
