wait it out, relax, watch a film.
it sounds like you are getting ready so try to sleep and get your rest, you wont get much more chance to once baby is here and you may be very grateful if you go into established labour later on tonight

Just wait it out I guess? Good luck x

Just try to relax and getting some sleep is a very good idea. Good luck.

I've had three episodes like this, and I keep thinking its the beginning of labor, and I go to bed as everyone advises to get some rest and wake up and its all gone away--so frustrating!

Hey chick with my last labour the exact same thing happened to me lasted a few hours then stopped, it started again about 12hrs later and I thought it was another false alarm and then my waters broke so good luck xx
