Night three of prodromal labor and I’m EXHAUSTED!

Amanda • Happily married for 13 years ❤️ Mommy to 8 beautiful kids

Friday around 5:30 pm, I started having contractions. They got to be every 4 minutes, lasting 1 minute each and some were actually painful. This happened until 4:30 am. I knew it was prodromal labor (I had it with my last baby) because I usually progress very quickly and my last four L&D; were never longer than 5 hours total. These contractions never got closer than 4 minutes and never got too strong. Although some were strong enough to wake me up from sleep. Well, the exact same thing happened Saturday and last night too. Same time frame, same exact thing. I am completely exhausted! Hearing the alarm at 5:45 is like a nightmare.
