False labor???

So I'm a FTM and ill be 39 weeks... Yesterday I had contractions ever 1015 minutes cramps, tightening, lower back pain, erge to poop , all the symptoms..... For like 10 hours... I got really excited because I thought I was going into early labor... Then I went to sleep fine and didnt feel a thing.. Has anyone else gone through this...is it normal?

  • Yep, totally normal.  I have been going through this for a few weeks.  I actually woke up in the middle of the night last night to some strong contractions.  They eventually went away and I was super disappointed.
