Prodromal Labor: UGH

Tess

I am on 45 hours of prodromal labor and I’m exhausted 😞. Im 38+1, and this is my third baby and already scheduled for another C-Section next week. I didn’t have anything like this with my first two kids, and I’m just frustrated now lol. The L&D nurses told me that they don’t like repeat c-section moms to really labor long for risk of uterine rupture, but my doc just wants me to stay home and relax since I’m only at 1cm and not progressing or changing. I’ve been doing the Benadryl, Tylenol, hydrating, baths etc with zero relief. Any advice/encouragement/stories of things that may have helped you either stop the contractions or progress your labor? I’m physically and mentally so done. Help 😅😅
