Contractions in public embarrassing.

Sooo.... yesterday my boyfriend took me to olive garden . While I was ordering I started to have really painful contractions. (The only thing that makes me feel better is if I stand up nd hunch over until it passes.) So I stood up half way through ordering. Praying it would relive some pain which It didn't . Before my boyfriend could even order I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. It was so horrible I was hunched over the sink probably five minutes. When I got back to the table I thought I was gonna be okay . I wasn't tho I had contractions the entire time . Ftm nd I'm only 37w 3d any one else have experiences like this ?
