Having to go to the bathroom 4 times and the constant pressure done there. I was in hard labor (4 minutes apart) for 14 1/2 hours and they had to break my water and half hour later my daughter was born

Menstrual like cramps with the contractions. And they were less than 10 minutes apart. I also had bloody show when the menstrual like cramps started.
I've had problems with braxton hicks contractions with all of my pregnancies, including this one. The way I knew the others were real was that they hurt pretty bad, lasted longer than 45 sec, were 10 or less min apart (regularly), and I had the bloody show.

My contractions actually hurt, and I think they were about 5min apart. I wasn't sure I was in labor, but I was in pain and tired and scheduled to be induced in a few hours, so I figured I may as well hit the hospital. If it was false labor, they'd just induce me early, then I'd get pain meds and go back to sleep. If I was in labor, I could get pain meds and go back to sleep. It turned out I was in labor. They made sure I was progressing, then I got something to take the edge off, and I went back to sleep. Yes, after getting only two hours of sleep and having a cold I was extremely obsessed with getting more sleep.

For my first born my water broke, but for my second one I thought that one of the disks in my spine was going to burst. When I got to the hospital I was laready 8 centimeters so they wouldn't give me an epidoral. The pain was unimaginable, I woudln't wish it on my worst enemy. Mother of two(personal experience). Don't worry you'll be just fine. Every pregnacy is different, take care and good luck with your new baby.
