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.

Are you in labor if you are 1cm dilated and have lots of back pain?

Yes, however, on tv you have a contraction & you go to the hospital & the baby is born. With all of my babies, i had back pain & contractions for weeks before they were so painful i could not stand it (active labor- 4 to 8 cm dilated). So if the pain is not bothering you, you are probably having contractions & your body is gearing up to go into heavy, active labor soon!

How do you tell if you're in labor?

Three main signs. 1.) You have strong, regular (every 10 minutes) and painful contractions. Early on you may have painless Braxton-Hicks contractions, these do not indicate labour. (False labor) 2.)Your cervix dilates and becomes thinner. 3.) The babies' head moves downwards. You might also get some period-like crampy lower back pains and maybe experience your waters breaking. If your waters break, they must be associated with contractions for it to indicate you are in labor. A Student Doctor.

Having 2nd lost entire mucus plug late last night at 38 weeks induced with 1st bad back pain irregular contractions with this one could it be labor?

If not, you're missing a really good chance. What you describe sure sounds like the stars are in alignment and the baby is ready. Good luck and I hope you and the baby (ies?) do well.


When you lose your mucus plug can you start contractions?

The mucus plug can be lost several days, or even a week before labor starts, so not necessarily.

Is severe rolling lower back pain a sign of labor?

It is for me! With both of mine I had no "front" contractions only back ones. It started as a low dull backache and quickly turned into feeling like something was trying to break out from back there.
