Prodromal labor

Has anyone else heard of this or experienced it? At my 36 week appointment I told my doctor I was having cramps, contractions and lower back pain for 3 days he said I was contracting but it’s not real contractions they’re just stronger than Braxton hicks 🧐

Yes I was having consistent contractions and not dialating fast enough very painful experience

Yesssss had it for a very long time

Yes. I had prodromal labor with both my boys! I had intense back labor pain and contractions for 2 days before they were born, each time (they are 3 years apart). It was the exact same for both! It's feels like you're almost there, and then the contractions stop for a bit. They were sporadic and painful. It helps to rest a lot while you can. Have your hubby apply pressure on your lower back and hips on each contraction. It eases the pain. Warm baths help, too. I'm currently on my 3rd baby pregnancy. Due Friday. I'm hoping for a normal labor this time! Best wishes!

Yes 😭 I’ve had this on and off for almost 2 weeks now. It really ramped up last Thursday. I was sure baby boy would be here by now!

I’ve been having this for two days now. It’s kept me up all night both nights 😭 my due date is today. I hope I don’t have much more of this. It’s so painful

@Paige Oh noo! Hang in there Mama! I hope baby comes fast! That pain is so debilitating, and it robs you of energy 😓 Make sure you're snacking and hydrating! Coconut water helped me a lot!
