Prodromal Labor

Emily

I'm going to lose my mind. I'm on bedrest because I've had prodromal labor for over a month and am 5 cm dilated at 33+1.

Every day is still full of intense but irregular contractions that come and go. They never sent me to the hospital and the only meds I'm on are progesterone. I'm miserable and tired and I'm wondering how long things can go on like this if I'm 5 cm? Obviously want the baby to grow some more, but I was 1.5 cm at this point with my 13 month old and she came at 36 weeks.

No idea what is going on or what to expect!
