Confusing contractions

Melanie • Mommy to a 3 year old Prince. Expecting Prince #2 April 5, 2015
My due date is in 3 days. Last week I had painful contractions that were coming every 5 minutes lasting 30 seconds for a few hours. I thought I was in early labor but then it stopped. Today I had the same thing happen but they were coming every 2-3 minutes. These went away too. Ugh! I just want to be in real labor already
