Can labor contractions start and then stop?

Preg with my second child. Was woken up (just like with my first) with contractions that were NOT braxton hicks. Followed by back pain. I had contractions for several hours and they stopped. Is it possible for labor contractions to start like this and stop? What should I expect?

Update:

I am due in 5 days

    Its not only very possible its very common - don't know how far you are but could go on for another couple of weeks or so before labor actually starts
