Signs of early labor?

Rebelyelle · August 2016

I honestly thought I was going into labor last night...starting around 8 PM, I started having contractions every 10-12 minutes. By 1 AM, they were every 5-7 minutes, and they were super painful. I also had cramping and a backache. I was 36 weeks exactly yesterday, so it seemed early and since it was the middle of the night and I didn't want to wake DS, I decided to wait it out until morning. The contractions eventually subsided around 4 AM. Today my belly is sore, and I'm having intermittent contractions, but nothing like last night. Even though they tapered off, I'm wondering if this is the start of true labor? I was induced at 38+5 with my son, so I have no idea what it's supposed to feel like. Any other early September moms having labor signs?
