False labour?

Question

I'm 37+4 and last night about an hour after sex I started getting braxton hicks, then an hour later I started getting really bad pains. Then I fell asleep and woke up 2 hours later in agony! Thought I was going into labour but the pain was constant and couldn't time it so took some tablets and fell back to sleep woke up this morning and the pains are still there. Has this happened to anyone before they went into labour ?

Answer

Just a heads up. I was taken to the hospital last night for pain. I am only 23 weeks. I tried everything to make it stop before we made the decision to go. I was having contractions. Thankfully the doctors were able to stop them. I have started the dialating process already. So if you think you may be in labor don't wait to get seen. You could be in labor and it's better to be checked than to be sorry later on. Good luck!!

Answer

It could still be labor, especially if the pain is radiating in your back and not going away. Everyone is slightly different so just because your pain doesnt seem to come on and off it could still be. I would go in if it still hasn't stopped just to have them check you out just in case. Plus I would go in alone just to make sure nothing is wrong either.
