anyone experienced this long slow labour?

i'm 3 cm dialated since 8 days, false labour pains r present 24/7 with irregular breaks. specially at night they hurt a lot.i'm 36 weeks along. my doctor asked me to wait until real labour begins and also gave me medicine to stop uterine spasms.

i only took one dose but it only masked the pain little but gave me extreme palpitations n hot flushes. i'm pulling my hair since 8 days. pains r like most of the time day in day out. position is cephalic lot but lower back is hurting like ***** with contractions. this is 2nd baby and my pain on actual labour day until i got epidural was not even 10 percent to wt it is nw.

wt is this? anyone experienced this.

    sounds like slow back labor to me. back labor is said to be more painful. i had back labor with my first son, although not to the extent it sounds like you are having it. has your water broken at all? if it hasnt, try laying in a warm bath (make sure someone is around that can help you get up of course). that might help you to relax. ive been told walking around and moving a lot can help with back labor, although i didnt get to try that myself because i was induced and confined to a bed (hopefully that wont happen this time around). if you can get enough pillows to prop you up right, get your partner to rub your back some, gently though. that might help. massage is great during labor.

    im sorry hun. i hope it goes smooth for you, and you get some relief soon.
