False labor? Prelabor?

Rebecca

36 weeks and 4 days today and I’ve been having fairly consistent Braxton hicks contractions with a bit of cramping. They were about 5-7 minutes apart. This has been going on for the last 15 hours. I called labor and delivery when it started and they told me to drink water and rest because I’m probably dehydrated. Did that. Didn’t do anything but the contractions never intensified or got closer together which told me it’s probably false labor. This all happened starting at 1am and I didn’t fall asleep until 6am. Got about 2 hours of sleep. Woke up. Continued to have Braxton hicks contractions. Little bit of back pain. They’re a little less consistent but still just as uncomfortable. I’ve also been in the bathroom a lot today 🥴 I’m just over this and I still have 3ish weeks to go haha I was hoping I wouldn’t have false labor like I did with my last pregnancy but here we are
