Prodromal labor...anyone?

Kelly • Mommy of 6, should we make it 7?!?!

Pretty sure this is exactly what I'm dealing with and Im so frustrated I want to cry. I googled it and it sounds like everything Im going through. Im 37 weeks and 1 day. After being up all night with severe lower back pain, contractions and peeing every 3o minutes it all stopped at about 11am today. Its starting again, just like last night. And more frustrating is it feels like baby girl moves up and down into the pelvis when this happens. She was sooo low last night I could hardly walk, then its like she eased up and I was ok for the majority of the day. I can feel her low again and can hardly walk and feels like she's "right there" when Im on the toilet. Im due the 12th and know how much better it is for her if she cooks, at this point Ive convinced myself Im going to be going through this for the next 3 weeks and its just depressing to feel so poorly when my toddler needs me and all I can do is lay down. Anyone in the same boat and how are you coping?
