Prodromal labor experience

Yes Ive been contacting for 2 weeks now with lower back pains on & off. I have a DRs appt next wk and I cant wait 🥲

Prodromal is pretty normal. It's just labor that doesn't progress. It's better to have early on than later in your labor. I'm in it too. Mine will stop for hours at a time.

I had it but they were progressing me told me I have an irritable uterus and short cervix but that’s just my experience caused me two preterm babies one at 34 weeks the other at 28 weeks both are fine and growing but drink lots of water and rest and I mean lay down just so gravity isn’t helping.

Pregnant with twins. 36 weeks tomorrow. Been contracting every 3 minutes for a couple days now. Went to triage and was told im not in labor because im not dilating got sent home after 2 days. Now im at home contracting here and there. Severe back pains but not in labor. I dont get it.

Yes! Had this with my first pregnancy. I “labored” for a day and a half without dilating prior to active labor beginning. It started a few days before my due date, though, so I knew it couldn’t last TOO long 😅 hang in there momma!

Thank you all for sharing. 2 weeks, and 2 hospital trips.. I’m still having this false labor. We have been 3 cm dilated for over a week now. Had doc appointment yesterday, they said 3 cm 60% effaced and baby is at -3 station. fluids sac was good, baby breathing was gd and she measured 5lb7oz on the ultrasound.Now that I’m 36 weeks 2days, I started moving around. I don’t want to be having this false labor for another 3 weeks. Walking though will put me in more pain and I get more contractions / lower back pain. I’m hoping it means baby is moving along into birth canal but who really knows. The other annoyance for me is lower blood pressure - it keeps dropping to 93/58 and I get dizzy/ headaches My first pregnancy was so easy - didn’t feel a thing until my water broke at 38w4d.
