Prodromal Labor... Anyone else?

Emily
For the past couple weeks I've gotten false labor contractions that are super strong but only ocassionally painful. Every day around 5 they become more frequent (sometimes 6/hr) but never keep the pattern so I know it's not real labor. They even wake me up in the middle of the night. I've heard false labor like this that's recurring can cause cervical changes though and baby's already dropped according to my ultrasound on Friday. Anyone else experienced these and did it help you progress?
