For your own sake, don't call it false labour - call it pre-labour. It's not false or fake. It's just not active labour yet. It will still help get your baby into a good position, and begin the dilating/effacing process.
Exactly! I had it with both of mine, and when i allowed myself to just roll with it, DS was able to get into an awesome position so that he could birth easier. Do you have plans for the next few weeks? Plan some exciting fun things to do so you have things to look forward to. If baby comes, you won't mind having to cancel them, but if she needs a little bit longer you have things to do.
