Sheesh the last thing you need is a house full of drunk people stressing you out!

I've had pre-labour and it sounds very familiar to what you are having. If the contractions get further apart and shorter than that's what it is. I know it's frustrating BUT look at it like helping you. I bet your cervix is softening and dilating slightly so when the time comes it's less work it has to do

My labours when I had pre-labour (didn't have it with my first) were very quick once the contractions started properly. Did you read my birth story with Ruby? She came only 1 1/2 hours of real contractions. I had a prelabour session in the wee small hours that fizzled out at 5am the same morning and I'd had it most of the week on and off.
I had the first pre labour with her 2 weeks before her EDD too.

hope you can get a nap in today!
