How to differentiate between true labor and false labor?

It's essential to differentiate between Braxton Hicks contractions (false contractions) and contractions associated with labor. Braxton Hicks contractions are typically irregular and go away with rest or a change in activity, while labor contractions become regular and more intense over time. Use a timer or contraction tracking app to monitor the frequency and duration of your contractions. This information will help determine if you're entering active labor. Active labor contractions are typically about 4-5 minutes apart, last around 45-60 seconds, and continue to occur consistently.If you believe you are in labor, contact your healthcare provider or go to the hospital as advised.
