Every pregnancy is different and 5 days remaining

This morning I woke up to what I thought was a tummy ache.  Then an hour later I started thinking it was contractions and timed them.  An hour and a half of consistent contractions and then they just stopped.  Jason and I are so unprepared for this phase.  We had no idea if we should go to the hospital, call the doctor, go to work, or what.  We are new to ALL of this.  And so now it is 7:00 AM, I've been awake for four hours, living on three hours of sleep, and I am very confused.  What just happened?  How can they call that false labor?!  That felt very real.  Oh well.  Another day another dollar.
