Not sure if this is a rhetorical question, as it asks for 'two' functions, but: Contractions open the cervix, and also help to move the baby down the birth canal.

Are you in labor if your baby is due in 2 days and you were up all night with painful contractions lasting 45-60 seconds every 5 minutes but today they have stopped?
I had the same thing happen and when I went to the dr. she told me that I was in "early labor". She also informed me that early labor can last hours, days, or even a week or two. Rest assured active labor isn't too far off. Your contractions were that bad and you didn't go to the hospital? You should at least call your doctor. It is unlikely that if you were in true active labor that your contractions would stop with a change in position or moving around. If they stop or get easier to bear when you move around, they are probably Braxton Hicks. I would call the doctor anyway just to be sure.
