The one thing I noticed about my front labor was the pain radiating down the front of my legs as well. I honestly can't remember if I felt that sensation early, or just when the baby started moving farther down (how much you can forget in a week...) but it was what stood out for me. The timing of your contractions sounds a lot like mine when I was stalling. My husband had me walking around and kicking something back and forth and that helped to regulate the timing of the contractions. I'm sorry I can't be more help...Good Luck!
During my labour the pain was all down my thighs and in my lower back as well as my front. I had very very painful periods when I was younger too, so I didn't think these pains were proper labour pains as I didn't find them particularly painful. I think the general rule is, if they don't go away after eating, drinking, having a rest then it's more than likely the real deal. Good luck!
I think that if I were in your situation I would be treating it as if it was labour. I don't remember any radiating pain when I had my many pre-labour contracions.
You could try taking tylenol, and if the pain stops or goes away it is just false labour. That's what one of the nurses told me. I,:(, haven't had ANY pains yet or any sign of labour being remotely close; I'm jealous. Good luck, and remember some women don't have regular contractions when in labour.
With my son I had no back labor, and what you're going through sounds very similar to what I went through. It lasted a long time too. I was 3 cm and 60% and it took a week for me to give birth. I would go for a long walk. I've heard that if you're laying down a lot (particularly late at night) you'll start getting contractions, but if you walk around they'll go away. That's a good sign of false labor if they go away when you start walking around... if you're truly in labor they continue or get worse.
