i had similar situation with my 3rd pregnancy i was in pain but it was manageable and soaking in warm shower helped i was due to go into to get induced at 4am little did i know when i went in to get induced they said sweetie your already in active labor i was dialated 5 1/2cm and 80% effaced so i didnt end up getting induced and we had our happy and healthy leap year baby in 2012 im praying this pregnancy is as easy going as my last one. everyone's pain tolerance is different i would definitely not rule out the chances of what your feeling to be the real thing goodluck and congrats on your little one
