Early or false labor

[wifeywifey]

How do you tell the difference? I didn't have braxton hicks with my first just two days early labor iv been having contractions all day, nothing too regular they have got stronger and don't stop when I change what I do but im not due for just over 2 weeks so don't believe this is it.
Anyone know how to tell. I haven't packed my bag yet

I was told if they don't stop when you change what you do then it's labour. Maybe better get bag packed. Xxx

I feel stupid for not knowing what's going on but they say every labor is different. I should try sleep just in case.

dont feel stupid. I was exactly the same. Had two trips to the MLU before the proper one. Have to say though - when it did really kick in, it was very very obvious!! xxx

I have been having false labour all week. The mws told me it is when you feel bad period type pains and cramps in lower back and tummy, lose some plug (not always) but contractions are irregular in length and times. Mine were 20, 5,12,6 minutes apart all over the place. lol. x
