Early Labor

PJ

I'm due on February 24. Woke up this morning around 3am with intense contractions and urge to push (felt like I had to make bowel movements). Last couple days, I had loose BM. I kind of passed out around 6am. Woke up around 7am with the urge to push. Called health link and they advised me to go to L & D to get checked. Contractions weren't too bad by the time I got to the hospital. Once, I was in triage they assessed me and my contractions came back. Dr. checked and I was only 1cm dilated boo! She said I'm in my early labour. They sent us home and told us to go back if it get too intense or if my water breaks or if I bleed. Anyone had similar experience? I would love to hear your experience. All day I'm having contractions but nothing tooooo intense.
