Difference between true and false labor?
false labor the contractions are irregular and don't last very long, true labor they are regular and increase in intensity. Also, before you go into labor you'll have your water break and a few days before hand, you'll experience the baby dropping into the birthing position.
If you had true labor contractions last night and they stopped will they be back soon?
True labor will not usually stop. Labor that stops is, by definition, false labor. False labor is common, especially in a second or third (or fourth, etc.) pregnancy. These contractions, however, are useful in that they help prepare the cervix for labor by softening it, thinning it out, and dilating it. First time moms often begin labor with a long, closed and thick cervix; women who've had a baby before will usually have a softened, somewhat dilated cervix when they start. It's hard to predict when any woman will go into labor. Contractions may be off and on for days before real labor begins. Eat, stay hydrated, and get as much rest as you can until it does.
How long after water broke should you start feeling contractions?

Been having a lot of mild contractions 38 weeks pregnant is labor soon?
What you are experiencing is called Braxton-Hicks contractions. It is perfectly normal. It is the body's way of "practicing" for the real thing. As long as there is no constant pressure on the floor of the pelvis or discharge of blood or liquid, the mild contractions you are feeling is not a threat. Your baby will be born when he or she is ready. The B-H contractions do not mean labor will begin any sooner than is proper.
Why do women suffer labor pains at child birth?
The vaginal contractions are for a woman to have an elastic opening in giving birth. Also, for accommodating the bigger and long penis during sexual intercourse.
