I’m 38 + 5 and have been dealing with the same the last 4 nights for a couple hours then it stops. My midwives and doula say false/prodromal labor 🙃
I was 37+1 when i had intense contractions that disappeared quickly then got really exhausted the next day, and the day after began contractions that eventually slowed down to nothing and a couple hours later my water broke! This was last week haha. So basically it could be a huge sign that your body is prepping for labor soon!
this happened to me on monday at 37 weeks and 3 days. It turned out to be false labor but my midwife said it’s a sign that labor could be coming soon
