False labour before 37 completed weeks of gestation occurs when the uterus begins to contract prematurely, leading to labour-like symptoms such as cramping, backache, and regular contractions. the contractions may be present but not strong enough to cause dilation of the cervix. it is important to distinguish between false labour and true labour as it can be dangerous for the baby if labour begins before 37 weeks.
