Is it normal to start having regular strong contractions (1 hour apart) and then suddenly stop after 6 hours?

I read a couple of forums and saw that there are other mums who have said the same things so I think it's perfectly normal. It's just your body's way to prepare itself for labour and it's called Prodomal Labour, in layman terms, false labour. It may feel like Braxton Hicks contractions but sometimes they can be much stronger. You can read the article I found here. It sure did help me understand a little bit more. http://thebirthteacher.blogspot.sg/2008/12/prodromal-labor.html?m=1 Good luck with the incoming labour!
