Yep like Christy said, I hate the word 'false' labour as it implies that your body isn't doing anything when it is. If you can sleep through your contractions, they stop or slow down at anytime, then it's probably not active labour. But don't dispair, if you have your show, things wont be far off now. You have lots of work ahead of you so relax as much as you can and try and prepare yourself mentally for what's ahead. Your body is doing all it needs to prepare for birth. Your body knows what to do. Trust it
