I’ve just recently heard about this term. I think that’s what I’m in. Is this an AKA for early labor? Im due the 27th. I’m getting contractions intermittently every day, anywhere between 5-10 min apart some random ones are longer or shorter. I feel pressure down there. Last night I was getting random sharp pains in my vagina that had me doubling over. But when I laid down and rested I was able to fall asleep and sleep through the night minus a few pee breaks lol. When I was checked last Weds I was 3cm. I’m wondering how long I’ll be in this stage of labor! It’s tough 😞 I’ve had some serious close calls this past week. I know there are other who can relate!
