Final answer:

True and false labor have distinctive signs, with true labor showing increasing contraction strength and frequency, bloody discharge, and the urge to use the bathroom.

True labor: Contractions increase in strength and are closer together; coming now on a regular basis, 30 to 70 seconds apart. The mucous plug is detached, showing bloody discharge. Some women have the sudden need to go to the bathroom.

False labor: Contractions are irregular, do not become more frequent or more intense, and stop during rest or with activity changes. Inconsistent in strength, and location of pain is in the front only.
