prodromal (false) labor

rachel

I'm only 29 weeks and 2 days ago I had contractions for 6 hours (4 to 10pm) then they suddenly stopped! No dilation but baby has dropped cervix is softening but nurse said it is still plenty thick. She called it prodromal labor and after reading about it looks like I'm in for a long third trimester?!? Has anyone else experienced this this early?
