I think it sounds like prelabour hun and it could go on for while.

The best thing to do is ignore it. If it goes on for a while, you'll be mentally and physically exhausted by the time real labour kicks in because you'll have expended so much energy focussing on it, wondering about it, obsessing over when something else will happen. So try to relax, ignore it and get some rest (easier said than done I know!) so that when it's time you'll be ready to go (listen to Julia she's right - so many women go into "labour mode" at the first twinge and by the time the real action starts they're absolutely buggered!). Anything you can do at this point to distract yourself is a bonus. Hang in there and hopefully it won't be too much longer.
