No progress at almost 39 weeks

Had a false alarm today early and went in, found out that NOT only was I not in labor but I had not even dialated more. I'm feeling discouraged as a FTM because I don't know of any clear signs of labor...I had already been cramping for the entire day and had awful pressure in my cervix so bad I couldn't walk and had labored breathing. I can wait 2 weeks but I am upset because I'm tired of false alarms and not knowing what to expect:(
