Prodromal Labor

S

Has anyone ever gone through this? What symptoms were you having and what was the outcome? I’m 34 weeks and think this is what I’m going through. The lightning crotch is so painful that I have troubles walking, and it also comes with a sharp lower back pain. I get close and painful Braxton Hicks that comes with a backache, a few hours on and then a few hours off. I get like 5 episodes of loose stools throughout the day. This has all been going on for a week and it’s making me wonder if the “Braxton Hicks” are actually making me progress. I spoke with a nurse and she said to monitor and if it gets worse to come in. I have an appointment in a few days so I’m trying to hold off until then

**My first born came spontaneously at 35 weeks, cause unknown. I was put on progesterone shots with my second born and he came at 38 weeks. I’m currently on progesterone shots with this current pregnancy, although I’ve skipped a total of 4 weeks throughout because of sicknesses, vacations, etc.
