    The document discusses the differences between false labor and true labor. True labor contractions come regularly and get closer together over time, each lasting 30-60 seconds. The contractions also get stronger as time goes on and will continue no matter the position of the woman in labor. False labor contractions are often irregular and weak, may stop with movement, and cause discomfort similar to menstrual cramps rather than the pressure of true labor.
