A sign of false labor, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions, is irregular and infrequent tightening of the uterus that usually goes away with movement or changes in position.

If the contractions stop when you rest or hydrate, it’s likely a sign of false labor.
The truth abbout braxton hicks?
Braxton Hicks Contractions are false contractions. They can be painful or you may not feel them at all. Your stomach muscles contract and will fill like your stomach is getting tight then they will release. Your stomach will feel hard during one. You can get them all the way through pregnancy but probably won't feel them until later in your pregnancy. They don't mean you're in labor but if you get one and they feel really painful I would call the doctor just to be safe. In late pregnancy they can become very close together and very painful and feel like the real thing. They can even thin your cervix. When this happens it's called false labor. If you have close painful contractions and think your in labor go to the hospital to be sure.
