Prodromal Labor

This “prodromal labor” is getting really tiring. Every night it seems like contractions are getting worse and may be the real deal then they just stop. Night before last I went 14 hours with contractions that completely stopped out of nowhere. They were painful, but not crazy bad or anything. Last night they had me holding my breath. My back hurt so bad with each one. Enough that I took a shower at 1 am. When I finally got tired enough to sleep through them at 5 am, I woke up and they were gone. I’m getting really really tired of this. Now I’m afraid when I really go into labor I’m going to end up giving birth at home because I’ll be thinking that it’s just a false alarm once again. Or that my body will be too tired after all this to get me through real labor.

Sorry for the rant 🙃
