contractions

Desiree
So I am a kindergarten teacher. I was in pain all day so I sat the entire day. Which if you know is hard for a teacher. It's the last couple days of school so the kids were in centers. I call the doctor at lunch. They say Braxton hicks and if gets worse call again. It didn't stop and gets worse. They send me to hospital. Where I'm then told that I'm one of those people who has contractions but labor hasn't started so I'm basically gonna have to deal with it until she decides to come. Anyone else dealt or dealing with this and have any advice because it's unbearable and idk how I'm gonna know when to go back if it's this way.
