I had prodromal labor for FOREVER. Made me not know when I was in actual labor and arrived at ER 10cm and my water broke and 3 pushes later out comes baby... I only live 8 mins from the hospital. Glad I didn’t have him at home.
I wish this was my reality. ;-; My kids have all been OP, and it’s bc of how short my torso is. It causes me to be in labor forever before progressing enough for the hospital. 😭
I’m so frustrated. I’ve literally never heard of prodromal labor until it started happening to me 😒. Even the experienced Mamas I’m around, why has no one mentioned this?? I’ve been having these fake ass contractions for a week now. I’m not gonna trust it’s the real thing until my baby is actually out of my body. The cruelest joke ever.
Me and you both girl😭😭 Im 40.2 now and its been happening since this weekend. I keep having them and they keep going away. I want to cry literally wont know what actual labor will be like cause I wont believe it, about to have this baby at home lol praying you get through this mama❤️
This video was so timely. I am nearly 39 weeks and for the last week or so I have been having contractions that are about 5 mins apart, lasting for at least a minute, and that goes on for over an hour. But then they never get to the point where I think “I’m in so much pain( I have to be in labor”....it’s so frustrating. I’m still not dilated at all....
3 nights of prodromal labor with my first - wish I would’ve had this video last time! Went in for therapeutic rest on day 4 (Benadryl nap) and just that little rest alone got me from 1 cm to 4 cm active labor! Rest is so important; if I had known my prodromal labor wasn’t the main event I would’ve slept during each day!
This was me for my first also! I was only told to take warm baths and showers for the pain until this saint of a nurse told me to take some benadryl to finally get some rest. After my first restful sleep in days I finally went into active labor.
Thank you for this! I've been having false labour on and off for about a week now without making any progress whatsoever and it is frustrating! I've been doing my best to get enough sleep just in case. I'm usually very well-hydrated, baby is sitting very low (albeit sunny-side up despite my re-positioning efforts), I'm drinking raspberry leaf and nettle teas, and I've been moving around a fair bit. Maybe I should just chill and patiently wait for the real thing at this point. It's hard to be stuck in that uncertain state where it's hard to make plans though. I'm due in two days and so over this!
7 hours of consistent contractions in the hospital, 2-3 minutes apart that were painful. Didn’t change my cervix. And completely just stopped after 7 hours 😢😢😢 disappointed is an understatement.
Another thing that helps with those painful false contractions is magnesium. Take a magnesium calcium supplement meant for pregnancy. And use magnesium lotion every night. Not only does it help with those contractions. It helps with cramps. So no more charly horses! I am almost 9 months with baby #6. And was having these horrible contractions for almost 2 months. Dr told me to rest and drink lots. I was doing plenty of both. My mom who had 10 babies, told me to try magnesium. It has made a huge difference! Plus it helps calm you and sleep better!
@@JustGods.Podgirl I’m not sure. Research the different types of magnesium. The dosage will be on the bottle. You can get it in drink or pill form. Magnesium also helps you sleep and with constipation
@@CrazyShawty95 don't be discouraged! Twins go FAST. I have a friend that had normal length labors with all her kids and then with her twins had her babies three hours from the first contractions.
I'm 32w with my second and trying to not let myself get to excited for labor haha. My first babe was only a 4 hour labor and contractions weren't painful. So I'm watching all the labor videos to keep me in check 😆
It’s 220am for me right now, 39+4 weeks and just patiently waiting for baby any day now. So what better way of feeling wide awake in the middle of the night and using my maternity leave time binge watching bundle birth! Thanks for all these amazing videos
4th time mom (40wks 4 days) and had false labor last night. This kid has an active eviction notice but is not complying. Painful contractions were 3-5 minutes apart, about one minute in length, from 11pm to 3am. All of the sudden they stop. I wanted to pull my hair out, but I'm actually okay with it because I was so exhausted last night from hiking 4 miles that I wouldn't have had the energy to push. I'm going to rest a lot today in case this happens again tonight. I want this kid out before my medical induction date!
@@aliciadavis465 I had a great labor nurse tell me to get on all fours and rock my hips back and forth to help his head get into the right position, so I did that whenever I had contractions for the next day. He was wedged kind of funny. I then took the midwife's brew from Brittany Kelly's channel and I went into labor that night. He started coming so fast that I barely made it. I know the second part is controversial, but the combination worked well for me.
I watched this video yesterday, and then I got contractions every 3 minutes for 2 hours last night! Went to sleep and it turns out it was prodromal labor!
Omg!! I've gone to the hospital twice this week and it ended up being false labor. I feel sooooo dumb! I'm currently 4cm dilated, 80% effaced and little lady is at -1 station and she baby #4. I'm super nervous she could come quickly so I figured going in was the best choice....buuuuuuut lol, it was a super fun false alarm...x2.
I'm on my 4th currently and I feel so dumb haha. Cus when my labor started with all my other ones it was actual labor. Never have I even heard of this prodromal labor until this one cus I've had it already twice now and I'm annoyed. Trying to do this miles circuit to see if it helps.
I was in prodromal labor for 3 days before I had my second baby I couldn’t sleep because the contractions were 7 to 10 minutes apart. We called the doctor the second morning because I started bleeding a little so he wanted us to come in( I was already two days overdue) and I wasn’t dilated at all! It was so discouraging! I was trying to have a vbac so I was already really stressed out about that cause I didn’t dilate at all with my first. But eventually I did go into real labor and I got my vbac so in the end it was worth it.
@@stepmili I was trying to have a vbac so the doctor said he wasn’t going to put me on pitocin unless they had to, my contractions eventually did start doing more to my cervix so day three when we went to the hospital I was able to stay and our baby was born 15 hours later so I did get my vbac it was really rough though
Hi @kathrynloewen2073, this is truly inspirational, I am in the same boat, trying a vbac with my second, 39.5 weeks and not dilated or effaced, having intense prodromal contractions. Any tips that you can share to help cope up with this stage? Its such a difficult stage
I was having contractions 2-5 min apart, but only one cm dilated 😔😔😔 I cried like a baby when I was sent home... the Dr asked “ did I make you cry” Likeeeee, yes ma’am, my feelings are hurt !!!! 🤣😣
I don’t recommend trying to induce labor at night. Very dumb idea of mine. I feel like that started my 48 hours of labor with no sleep. Not totally related to this but kind of.
I dealt with this for 3 weeks. It was awful. Therapeutic rest got me to a 5 and they kept me and induced. I was 4cm for over a week while working and walking 6-7 miles a day at work.
This video is timed very appropriately for me. I don't know if you'd call what I'm going through officially "prodrormal labor". I have however had two days where I was genuinely surprised that I hadn't at least lost my plug because the Braxton hicks were so intense. I'm now just having intense Braxton hicks off and on, but nothing has really started happening. 🤷♀️
This happened with my second for 3 WEEKS! Consistent painful contractions. I tried everything to stimulate labor, and even went in to the hospital, and she just came when she decided to come 🤣😭
Disappointing to hear because SAME but glad to hear I'm not the only one. I am so tired and sore while this child is laughing at me all cozy inside haha
currently having contractions 3 mins apart for the past hour but they’re not sore just a little more crampy than period cramps. prolonging it because i don’t want to go to the hospital and get sent home 😂
I've been having contractions for 29 hours but I'm not dilated - I went to the hospital and they sent me home after 6 hours 😭 Its awful, hope you're doing good now, maybe you've had your baby by now! ❤😀
I’m so physically and mentally exhausted! Been having Prodromal Labor for 14 days now… I’m 34 weeks and had my cerclage removed at 33 weeks with the hops that my cervix was just really irritated having the cerclage in and it would calm things down… False hope!! I go 2, 3-4 hours sometimes 2-3 times a day with constant contractions every 3-5 mins. So of course I’m worried because I don’t have Fort Knox at my cervix anymore that she’s just gonna fly on out! So we have gone to L&D 4 times now only to have these taunting contractions putter out! I’ve done Procardia and shots of terbutaline and nothing works to really stop them nor the intensity. Of course my Momma heart doesn’t want a preemie baby. But my body is physically worn out and mentally I’m exhausted too. For reference this is my 2nd baby but 18 years apart. Had my 1st at 20 and now I’m 38. I lost my 1st when she was 10 years old to a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2014. My 1st born’s birthday is on 9/22 in just a few days so that’s also messing with my head and heart. Ugh, Motherhood sometimes! I swear my dear husband is never touching me again!!😉💞 Additionally, I have a genetic disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and that is why I have an Incomplete Cervix and needed a cerclage. Spreading awareness!!
Thank you so much for this video.. 39 weeks and 3 days today, i experience mild period like cramps since morning. Tried to rest, it didn't help. So i went on a walk with my husband and now i feel alot better. I thought i was in early labour but maybe they are just prodomal labour. Thank you, Sarah.
I've been having prodromal labor for 2 weeks and I'm so so frustrated and sad. My family and friends keep saying "you haven't had that baby yet?" I know they mean well but I'm getting so sad.
Thanks Sarah, your videos and resources help so much during my pregnancy. I just had my baby girl two months ago. I personally had false labor for a week before she came. Sarah, in most of your video, you said the baby will come when she/he is ready and that helped me. You should also make more video after labor care for mom.
With my first, I was in prodomal labor for days! It was the worst and I did not know. Wish I would have found your videos then. Now I am 38 weeks with the 2nd and I am so thankful to learn from you
In prodromal labor at 34 weeks with a history of preterm birth and miserable 😥. Doctor gave me strict instructions on when to come in due to my preterm history and told me to hydrate with Pedialyte and rest when it comes on every night. Can't wait till baby is full term and this is over it is soooo exhausting to go through it Every. Single. Night 😐
I’m 32+5 weeks and a history like yours. Currently have a cerclage in that will be taken out at 36. Been experiencing exactly what you described the past several days. What was your outcome?
@@Loveandkindness33 I followed my doctor's instructions hydrated rested as soon as I felt any inkling of those pains coming on. Luckily gave birth at 38 and a half weeks. It was fast, so fast that I did not have time for The epidural that I was planning on 👍. Baby was completely healthy though. Birth and everything was fine honestly it was just late pregnancy that sucked. I am so sorry that you are going through that. Hang in there mama, my prayers and positive vibes going to you ❤️
I want to say yes, I’m 38 weeks, experiencing what you said above, plus lots of pressure, and irregular period like cramps.... and I lost my plug (tmi but it was bloody) but then IM NOT IN LABOUR just in mild discomfort nonstop hahaha
I’ve had to had my labor stopped several times a week since 32 weeks....now, at 37 weeks I can’t get it to stay consistent. I don’t get it. I’m so beyond frustrated. Get out of me. 😭
I'm 37 weeks and started having contractions yesterday. I thought it was labor. Contractions were 4 minutes apart and painful. They had been going on for 2 hrs. I went to the hospital and was only 1cm dilated 😫😮💨 They kept me for a couple hours and rechecked my cervix, still no change so they diagnosed me with prodromal labor and sent me home.
I'm 900 months pregnant and have been having false labor for 3 weeks now. I'm just sick of it :( (I'm really 39+5). This is my first full term baby (we lost our first at 22wks) and the Dr said it could go either way as far as delivering like a second birth or a first one. I'm just stressed and tired of all these Braxton Hicks.
You made me laugh with that😂 900 months lolll girl im so sorry I've been there and currently 34 weeks pregnant worh our 3rd. How did it go?? Did you end up getting induced? Hope you and baby are well 🙏 💕
@@DarkestBe4Dawn thank goodness! Congrats! 🎊 🎉 And thats right! Alive and healthy is what matters. Im sorry for your lost baby:( I've been there too 🙏 🙁
I went through 2 days of pre labor with my daughter then had 8 hours of active labor and 45 minutes pushing. The pre labor was the hardest part for me. What kicked my labor into gear? Looking up pressure points on the feet and having my husband rub those places, then walking.
I was In prodromal labor for 2 weeks with baby number 6 !! I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy!! Now on baby number 7 ! I’m 30 weeks 5 days it started last night !!! It last for 2 1/2 hours 3-4 mins apart then stopped! 😠😔😔!! Last year I did morphine!! And it did not take the pain away !! And kept waking me up with every contraction!! The next morning almost had my baby in the shower! ( no a home birth was not planned)
Hi! I have a question.. so the other day I was extremely crampy and it felt like period cramps... position changing didn’t help and I was breathing through the pain until it subsided. But it lasted consistently for about 2-3 hours. Like I’m talking non stop cramps for 2-3 hours. I keep finding that’s Braxton Hicks online.. but I thought Braxton Hicks was the tightening of my uterus, which I’ve also felt and it didn’t feel crampy.. are there different types of Braxton Hicks or was the first one I mentioned something else?
Was aiming for a vbac with baby#2 and the doctors and nurses new my plan went to my 37weeks app was having contractions 2-5mins apart but felt like Braxton hicks but was only 1cm I was admitted which I didn't want I told the gynecologist i had to go pick my son up from school doctors were upset made me sign a self discharge paper stating I would return and that if anything was to happen to me/baby they were not to blame I returned at 10pm kept having contractions back to back very strongly but they weren't painful on uncomfortable cause they had me lying on my back next morning a gynecologist which is also a surgeon comes to me a says I'm to short and won't be able to push then realizes that I'm angry then says oh it's not about the height but the risks I said I know the risk I've done my research u haven't even checked me to see if there is any change but u want me to have a csection she then checks says I'm still 1cm but still having regular contractions but not painful I know I wasn't in labor and they knew that but kept asking me to hv the csection I agreed then told them that I wanted to labor on still I asked her to place the Foley balloon in as was done with my first pregnancy to help with my dilation but she said it was a risk and it would be putting pressure on my previous incision and she wasn't comfortable doing that I still and all throughout my stay I keep asking for them to put in the Foley balloon cause it helped with my first pregnancy but nope they were only trying to convince me to hv the csection I was already told not to eat or drink anything if I was to hv a csection even b4 having to agree with the csection so I'm here hungry and thirsty haven't eaten or drunk anything in 24hrs I'm feeling dizzy I kept asking for ice so I can at least wet my lips nope only said I can't hv it I felt so weak I agreed to the csection cause I felt like I was putting my baby and myself at risk for not eating/drinking anything for 24+ hrs but I'm home recovering and I keep replaying and asking myself could I hv had a vaginal birth if I was listened to and I'm angry with myself and the doctor and nurses I am also lucky that my fiance and son is there with me because I would have had a terrible cause of postpartum depression
All the videos said rest but I mean how to rest when you are in so much pain!! 😢 I’m having this for 3 nights and so frustrated. Can’t sleep at all… 😭😭
Do you have a video on the opposite end where you can’t really tell if it’s early labor? I’ve been having tons of period-style aches and back pain. Also extreme fatigue. Between taking my girls to my sister’s and getting to the hospital, it’ll be about a 2 hour drive. So I’m getting slightly nervous about a precipitous labor if I don’t realize I’m starting labor. 😬
With my son, contractions started on Friday evening, went to the hospital Saturday evening, was given epedural on sunday evening and he was born Monday morning, after only 5 minutes of pushing. I thought it was normal to be in labour for 2 and a half day as a first time mum.
FTM at 38+4 weeks and once I googled enough to see a set of symptoms that aligned with what I was feeling and found this video, I feel a huge sense of relief!! It’s the not knowing what is going on that was killing me (besides the terrible nightly contractions fest). Question, is it normal to have a “tight” but not “rock hard” belly between these contractions? It goes on for hours like this walking between the two. I’m wondering if my uterus is just straining so much it’s exhausted..
Call me weird but I’m not ready to have my baby 😳. I’m afraid of the pain, the after effect of labor and csection. Ugh, pray for me y’all. I’m excited about meeting my baby but that other stuff is like noooo no nooo.
After 4 kids I've never felt my contractions, at least, until I'm in transition. Which kind of sucks. So if feel contractions it's usually prodromal labor.
3rd time mom. I'm only 35 and 0 but am going through this! It's been 3 days. It gets bad and then when I finally to bed I wake up and it starts again. I'm 0cm and my doctor says it's just normal. I don't want this baby to come yet but it hurts so bad. I'm at the end of my ropes.
I’m 37 weeks second baby going for a VBAC this is happening to me right now. I’m getting discouraged I think my scoliosis is stressing out my pelvic floor
Uggghh, I haaaaaaaaate prodromal labor!!!! Weeks of it with both my births so far. Two full on “labors” with contractions 1 minute long, 5 minutes apart for 12+ hours. Then real labor STILL took 16.5 hours, and I pushed for 2.5 hours! 😵💫 Both my first and second babies. Hoping for shorter when I give birth to my third in October.
I’m on baby 5 and final planned csection for 39 weeks with tubal. I’m now 37 weeks and have been in prodromal labor since 34 weeks. At 34 weeks I went from closed cervix to a 2cm now we sit and wait.
My friend had this every day for a month!!! gave birth at 42 weeks + 5 at home. poor thing. When she finally did give birth her contractions were still 15 mins apart, midwife had never seen that before. Turned out baby had shoulder dystocia and was stuck, maybe that's part of why. her other 2 births were great
How long can you have prodromal labor without it pushing into active labor? I am drinking water and resting but I am 31 weeks and I don’t want to go into labor obviously. I have a toddler that is almost 2 though so resting is a relative term. I went into labor at 38 weeks with toddler and this is 5th pregnancy.
I had a very lengthy prodromal labor. It came om every night and w a painful regular and consistent. It just didn't progress. It was torture. I was so exhausted. Come to find out she had a short umbilical cord and couldn't engage because the cord was keeping her from dropping. She was eventually born but it was a very very long prodromal labor and active labor.
Please please help a girl out with pregnancy heartburn!!!!!! I'm about 37 weeks, I've taken everything over the counter, changed my diet, tried all natural remedies like gum and almonds. I'm up all night with the burning... thank youuu
Take ginger, apple cider vinegar and make sure your chewing your food more and eating more slowly. I take ginger tea with some apple cider vinegar and it helps tons. I also add a little cayenne pepper to mine as well with some honey which also helps. You can also trying eating beans, not canned, but fresh beans you cook yourself.
Can we get the morphine rest after getting an induction? The first time I had one it made my pain go to a whole nother level so I screamed out for the epidural and I would really like to deliver without one.
Currently 36 weeks and 5 days. I was having contractions from 4pm to 1am and the contractions all of a sudden stop. I thought I was gonna have my baby last night.
I get adrenaline when I have to go into hospital or most doctor offices, so when I go to show them "these are not braxton hicks," my body covers it up and then it usually restarts when I'm home again and settling down. 😒 And if I just tell them, no matter the detail I give, I get told they're BH. No, I have those and this is my third baby, I know the difference. These often make me tear up, I may not talk at the time, I can't focus or eat anything, I want/need to find a spot to get to a quiet spot and lay down, preferably dark and quiet. They don't stop for drinking water, tylenol, new positions, a bath, a massage...they're consistent in time and go on for an hour or more before they relax and wait to start again in a while. I hate them, especially the ones that make me run for the bathroom from pressure. I've given up, my SO is my current pro on following me around to keep my ice chips on hand and massages and make sure the fan is pointed on me if I start sweating all over. Eventually they settle and I can nap.
I am 38 weeks pregnant and been having crampy Braxton hicks, low back ache, hip pain, and lots of loose bowel movements for almost 2 weeks. Baby has been in my pelvis for 3 weeks (dropped), and I’ve been drinking a lot of water and NORA tea, using my birth ball to open up my pelvis, and walking and taking naps. Is this normal for a first baby? I don’t know what to expect 😭
I wish i could do a morphine drip im 32 weeks with gallstones and painful fake labor im just ready to have this baby 😢 i can definitely feel him trying to pusn out hes just not quite getting it
I’ve been having these labor like pains that feel like period cramps starting from lower back coming to lower abdomen, the pain lasts for 15ish seconds and come back with regular intervals of 3 mins and it goes on for hours!! I’ve been having it since 30 weeks and it was scary at first since I didn’t know what Braxton hicks or even labor pains felt like due to epidural last time. And also my OB would have no explanation. And then she was like maybe it’s cause you’re dehydrated, OMG I’ve been drinking water like crazy, added electrolytes.
I’m exhausted. Baby #7. Thought for sure this was labor contractions 1+ min 3 min apart for a few hours. Then my waters broke so headed out to the hospital that’s 45 min away. Got here I’m 4 cm dialated and it’s totally stalled… They won’t let me home because my waters broke but nothing is happening. I’m so frustrated
What does it mean if your cervix is closed, but very pliable and soft? 30 wks at that time last week. Can doctors digging painfully around your cervix kick start your labor, if sex does? It was bleeding too.I have not been having sex because I want him to stay in there as long as he can. He should be good to go right now, but his brain is still developing and that’s more important to me than my hubby getting lucky sooner
Had contractions that lasted 5 days in a row. Was in so much pain I thought I was drying, went into the hospital and found out I was contracting at 4 min apart. This continued for 4.5 days!!!! After a while I decided to get the shot of morphine to help with pain witch then stopped it. Now I am having contractions again and don't know if this is real or not!!!
Hi Sarah I'm due in 13 days on may 6th with our 5th baby I was wondering when I should leave the house we live 3hrs away from the hospital our last daughter was 6hrs of labor
Morphine did NOTHING to calm it down. I was in pain for three days straight on no sleep, i was almost 42 weeks. They never checked me but told me until my water broke I had to go home. 😒 It finally did but at that stage the dr should have broke my water.
Question: what if your baby is engaged and in a great position (this is baby #4 and I can tell and doctor confirmed) but you are still having prodromal labor? I have never had this with my other labors. I am exhausted. And I am nervous because as soon as I hit active labor I go very fast and already live 40 minutes from the hospital.
@@NehaMishra-ih9sv I feel so much better not being pregnant. I love seeing and holding my baby. I had a spinal and it went great. Recovery was rough but I’m back to normal now. Just need to lose weight lol.
"A dehydrated uterus is an angry uterus" lol...this needs to go on a shirt or something. Thank you for your content and education!
A sticker for a water bottle would be perfect! 😄
I had prodromal labor for FOREVER. Made me not know when I was in actual labor and arrived at ER 10cm and my water broke and 3 pushes later out comes baby... I only live 8 mins from the hospital. Glad I didn’t have him at home.
Girl, preach. I was in and out of L and D from 20 weeks on with prodromal labor. 😫 it is good you were able to get there in time!
I'm hoping this turns into labor before that point. I'm an hour and a half from hospital 🙄
I wish this was my reality. ;-;
My kids have all been OP, and it’s bc of how short my torso is.
It causes me to be in labor forever before progressing enough for the hospital. 😭
😲 I've been preparing myself for this possibility.
Wish this was my reality and wish I could safely give birth to a healthy baby at home… literally all I want.
I’m so frustrated. I’ve literally never heard of prodromal labor until it started happening to me 😒. Even the experienced Mamas I’m around, why has no one mentioned this??

7 hours of consistent contractions in the hospital, 2-3 minutes apart that were painful. Didn’t change my cervix. And completely just stopped after 7 hours 😢😢😢 disappointed is an understatement.
I was in padromal labour for days, it was awful! I went to the hospital, they sent me home. Came back 3 hours later at 9cm. Was not fun lol
Lucky you I wish I would progress 🥲
that's where I am right now
I've been having it for a week ☹ soo tired
Another thing that helps with those painful false contractions is magnesium. Take a magnesium calcium supplement meant for pregnancy. And use magnesium lotion every night. Not only does it help with those contractions. It helps with cramps. So no more charly horses! I am almost 9 months with baby #6. And was having these horrible contractions for almost 2 months. Dr told me to rest and drink lots. I was doing plenty of both. My mom who had 10 babies, told me to try magnesium. It has made a huge difference! Plus it helps calm you and sleep better!
What dosage of magnesium
@@JustGods.Podgirl I’m not sure. Research the different types of magnesium. The dosage will be on the bottle. You can get it in drink or pill form. Magnesium also helps you sleep and with constipation
Thank you so much for recommending this!I use magnesium oil
I am almost 41 weeks and and i am going though prodromol labor at 1 cm and couldnt stop crying. Thank you for this video

4th time mom (40wks 4 days) and had false labor last night. This kid has an active eviction notice but is not complying. Painful contractions were 3-5 minutes apart, about one minute in length, from 11pm to 3am. All of the sudden they stop. I wanted to pull my hair out, but I'm actually okay with it because I was so exhausted last night from hiking 4 miles that I wouldn't have had the energy to push. I'm going to rest a lot today in case this happens again tonight. I want this kid out before my medical induction date!
How did it go? Did you have baby yet?
You literally just describe what I'm going through and this is baby 2 I don't know what to do 😭
@@aliciadavis465 I had a great labor nurse tell me to get on all fours and rock my hips back and forth to help his head get into the right position, so I did that whenever I had contractions for the next day. He was wedged kind of funny. I then took the midwife's brew from Brittany Kelly's channel and I went into labor that night. He started coming so fast that I barely made it. I know the second part is controversial, but the combination worked well for me.
Girl ! You must’ve heard my prayers for the past 5 days my contractions get up to 6 minutes apart and then stop 😫
Haha I needed this a few weeks ago! Just had my baby after weeks of prodomal labour!
that's encouraging i'm glad it ends
were there any complications? Did you induce?
Did you do anything to exit that stage. I've been going on 3 weeks and am exhausted and sore with NO baby lop
I watched this video yesterday, and then I got contractions every 3 minutes for 2 hours last night! Went to sleep and it turns out it was prodromal labor!
I appreciate all of your videos sooo much! 31 weeks right now, and you are helping me prep my mind so well.
Omg!! I've gone to the hospital twice this week and it ended up being false labor. I feel sooooo dumb! I'm currently 4cm dilated, 80% effaced and little lady is at -1 station and she baby #4. I'm super nervous she could come quickly so I figured going in was the best choice....buuuuuuut lol, it was a super fun false alarm...x2.
I'm on my 4th currently and I feel so dumb haha. Cus when my labor started with all my other ones it was actual labor. Never have I even heard of this prodromal labor until this one cus I've had it already twice now and I'm annoyed. Trying to do this miles circuit to see if it helps.
I was in prodromal labor for 3 days before I had my second baby I couldn’t sleep because the contractions were 7 to 10 minutes apart. We called the doctor the second morning because I started bleeding a little so he wanted us to come in( I was already two days overdue) and I wasn’t dilated at all! It was so discouraging! I was trying to have a vbac so I was already really stressed out about that cause I didn’t dilate at all with my first. But eventually I did go into real labor and I got my vbac so in the end it was worth it.
What Week were you
@@rondarobbins4868 I was 40 weeks
Did you get pitocin? I had prodromal labor for 4 days and eventually got pitocin
@@stepmili I was trying to have a vbac so the doctor said he wasn’t going to put me on pitocin unless they had to, my contractions eventually did start doing more to my cervix so day three when we went to the hospital I was able to stay and our baby was born 15 hours later so I did get my vbac it was really rough though
Hi @kathrynloewen2073, this is truly inspirational, I am in the same boat, trying a vbac with my second, 39.5 weeks and not dilated or effaced, having intense prodromal contractions. Any tips that you can share to help cope up with this stage? Its such a difficult stage
I was having contractions 2-5 min apart, but only one cm dilated 😔😔😔 I cried like a baby when I was sent home... the Dr asked “ did I make you cry” Likeeeee, yes ma’am, my feelings are hurt !!!! 🤣😣
Me too! Both babies 🤦🏼♀️
@@juliebranton1730 awwww, sorry.
How much longer afterwards did you give birth?
@@ambitiousmissy With my first it was three days later, my second only 22 hours.
@@juliebranton1730 Omgggg it has been a couple of days so far, still no changes
@@ambitiousmissy So sorry! It’s tough and disheartening when they send you home. Hopefully things pick up soon! 💕
I don’t recommend trying to induce labor at night. Very dumb idea of mine. I feel like that started my 48 hours of labor with no sleep. Not totally related to this but kind of.
I dealt with this for 3 weeks. It was awful. Therapeutic rest got me to a 5 and they kept me and induced. I was 4cm for over a week while working and walking 6-7 miles a day at work.
I'm 39w and 4cm dilated with no contractions... I've been at a 4 for 2 days now ugh I'm so annoyed
This video is timed very appropriately for me. I don't know if you'd call what I'm going through officially "prodrormal labor". I have however had two days where I was genuinely surprised that I hadn't at least lost my plug because the Braxton hicks were so intense. I'm now just having intense Braxton hicks off and on, but nothing has really started happening. 🤷♀️
This happened with my second for 3 WEEKS! Consistent painful contractions. I tried everything to stimulate labor, and even went in to the hospital, and she just came when she decided to come 🤣😭
Hello how how many weeks did the baby came after your contraction for three weeks thanks
@@okezieachigbu1565 I started pre-labor around 37 weeks (which is when I gave birth to my first) and she came right at 40 weeks!
Disappointing to hear because SAME but glad to hear I'm not the only one. I am so tired and sore while this child is laughing at me all cozy inside haha
currently having contractions 3 mins apart for the past hour but they’re not sore just a little more crampy than period cramps. prolonging it because i don’t want to go to the hospital and get sent home 😂
I've been having contractions for 29 hours but I'm not dilated - I went to the hospital and they sent me home after 6 hours 😭 Its awful, hope you're doing good now, maybe you've had your baby by now! ❤😀
Same .
I’m so physically and mentally exhausted! Been having Prodromal Labor for 14 days now… I’m 34 weeks and had my cerclage removed at 33 weeks with the hops that my cervix was just really irritated having the cerclage in and it would calm things down… False hope!!
I go 2, 3-4 hours sometimes 2-3 times a day with constant contractions every 3-5 mins. So of course I’m worried because I don’t have Fort Knox at my cervix anymore that she’s just gonna fly on out! So we have gone to L&D 4 times now only to have these taunting contractions putter out! I’ve done Procardia and shots of terbutaline and nothing works to really stop them nor the intensity.
Of course my Momma heart doesn’t want a preemie baby. But my body is physically worn out and mentally I’m exhausted too.
For reference this is my 2nd baby but 18 years apart. Had my 1st at 20 and now I’m 38. I lost my 1st when she was 10 years old to a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2014. My 1st born’s birthday is on 9/22 in just a few days so that’s also messing with my head and heart. Ugh, Motherhood sometimes! I swear my dear husband is never touching me again!!😉💞 Additionally, I have a genetic disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and that is why I have an Incomplete Cervix and needed a cerclage. Spreading awareness!!
Update: Prodromal labor for almost a month now. I AM MISERABLE!!
Thank you so much for this video.. 39 weeks and 3 days today, i experience mild period like cramps since morning. Tried to rest, it didn't help. So i went on a walk with my husband and now i feel alot better. I thought i was in early labour but maybe they are just prodomal labour. Thank you, Sarah.
I've been having prodromal labor for 2 weeks and I'm so so frustrated and sad. My family and friends keep saying "you haven't had that baby yet?" I know they mean well but I'm getting so sad.
Thanks Sarah, your videos and resources help so much during my pregnancy. I just had my baby girl two months ago. I personally had false labor for a week before she came. Sarah, in most of your video, you said the baby will come when she/he is ready and that helped me. You should also make more video after labor care for mom.
With my first, I was in prodomal labor for days! It was the worst and I did not know. Wish I would have found your videos then. Now I am 38 weeks with the 2nd and I am so thankful to learn from you
In prodromal labor at 34 weeks with a history of preterm birth and miserable 😥. Doctor gave me strict instructions on when to come in due to my preterm history and told me to hydrate with Pedialyte and rest when it comes on every night. Can't wait till baby is full term and this is over it is soooo exhausting to go through it Every. Single. Night 😐
I’m 32+5 weeks and a history like yours. Currently have a cerclage in that will be taken out at 36. Been experiencing exactly what you described the past several days. What was your outcome?
@@Loveandkindness33 I followed my doctor's instructions hydrated rested as soon as I felt any inkling of those pains coming on. Luckily gave birth at 38 and a half weeks. It was fast, so fast that I did not have time for The epidural that I was planning on 👍. Baby was completely healthy though. Birth and everything was fine honestly it was just late pregnancy that sucked. I am so sorry that you are going through that. Hang in there mama, my prayers and positive vibes going to you ❤️
Is it normal to have an increase in bowel movements, gas, and heartburn when you are experiencing prodromal labor?
I want to say yes, I’m 38 weeks, experiencing what you said above, plus lots of pressure, and irregular period like cramps.... and I lost my plug (tmi but it was bloody) but then IM NOT IN LABOUR just in mild discomfort nonstop hahaha
@@cherishatchison8676 how do I know when I’m in labor then 😭 ?
Past two nights I have had this. Last night was more intense but tapered off by morning again.
I’ve had to had my labor stopped several times a week since 32 weeks....now, at 37 weeks I can’t get it to stay consistent. I don’t get it. I’m so beyond frustrated. Get out of me. 😭
I love the way you communicate! Thank you for being so down to earth!!!
I'm 37 weeks and started having contractions yesterday. I thought it was labor. Contractions were 4 minutes apart and painful. They had been going on for 2 hrs. I went to the hospital and was only 1cm dilated 😫😮💨 They kept me for a couple hours and rechecked my cervix, still no change so they diagnosed me with prodromal labor and sent me home.
I'm 900 months pregnant and have been having false labor for 3 weeks now. I'm just sick of it :( (I'm really 39+5). This is my first full term baby (we lost our first at 22wks) and the Dr said it could go either way as far as delivering like a second birth or a first one. I'm just stressed and tired of all these Braxton Hicks.
You made me laugh with that😂 900 months lolll girl im so sorry I've been there and currently 34 weeks pregnant worh our 3rd.
How did it go?? Did you end up getting induced?
Hope you and baby are well 🙏 💕
@@evamz9584 yeah i did and he's happy and healthy but man alive did he not want to come out!
@@DarkestBe4Dawn thank goodness! Congrats! 🎊 🎉
And thats right! Alive and healthy is what matters. Im sorry for your lost baby:( I've been there too 🙏 🙁
I went through 2 days of pre labor with my daughter then had 8 hours of active labor and 45 minutes pushing. The pre labor was the hardest part for me. What kicked my labor into gear? Looking up pressure points on the feet and having my husband rub those places, then walking.
Which site did you use for these pressure points? I want to make sure I use the proper points.
I'm now 36wks 🙃 getting prepared.
@@MommaGuarisco how did you get on? X
This is so incredibly frustrating
I was due yesterday, and then since last night I’ve been getting VERY inconsistent backaches which are pretty intense 😩
And now with baby #2 I’ve had such painful Braxton hicks today … thank GOD they stopped though ! Since I’m only 36w2d
I was In prodromal labor for 2 weeks with baby number 6 !! I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy!! Now on baby number 7 ! I’m 30 weeks 5 days it started last night !!! It last for 2 1/2 hours 3-4 mins apart then stopped! 😠😔😔!! Last year I did morphine!! And it did not take the pain away !! And kept waking me up with every contraction!! The next morning almost had my baby in the shower! ( no a home birth was not planned)
I had false labor with my last 4. Each one got longer until my 4th I had it for 2 months. Now pregnant with #5.
Currently 40+5 & you don’t know how incredibly frustrating it is to go in & they say you aren’t even dilated 🥺
Exactly i feel the same
Hi! I have a question.. so the other day I was extremely crampy and it felt like period cramps... position changing didn’t help and I was breathing through the pain until it subsided. But it lasted consistently for about 2-3 hours. Like I’m talking non stop cramps for 2-3 hours. I keep finding that’s Braxton Hicks online.. but I thought Braxton Hicks was the tightening of my uterus, which I’ve also felt and it didn’t feel crampy.. are there different types of Braxton Hicks or was the first one I mentioned something else?
3 days of prodromal labor, got 0 sleep because of painful contractions that would not let up. It was not fun.
Was aiming for a vbac with baby#2 and the doctors and nurses new my plan went to my 37weeks app was having contractions 2-5mins apart but felt like Braxton hicks but was only 1cm I was admitted which I didn't want I told the gynecologist i had to go pick my son up from school doctors were upset made me sign a self discharge paper stating I would return and that if anything was to happen to me/baby they were not to blame I returned at 10pm kept having contractions back to back very strongly but they weren't painful on uncomfortable cause they had me lying on my back next morning a gynecologist which is also a surgeon comes to me a says I'm to short and won't be able to push then realizes that I'm angry then says oh it's not about the height but the risks I said I know the risk I've done my research u haven't even checked me to see if there is any change but u want me to have a csection she then checks says I'm still 1cm but still having regular contractions but not painful I know I wasn't in labor and they knew that but kept asking me to hv the csection I agreed then told them that I wanted to labor on still I asked her to place the Foley balloon in as was done with my first pregnancy to help with my dilation but she said it was a risk and it would be putting pressure on my previous incision and she wasn't comfortable doing that I still and all throughout my stay I keep asking for them to put in the Foley balloon cause it helped with my first pregnancy but nope they were only trying to convince me to hv the csection I was already told not to eat or drink anything if I was to hv a csection even b4 having to agree with the csection so I'm here hungry and thirsty haven't eaten or drunk anything in 24hrs I'm feeling dizzy I kept asking for ice so I can at least wet my lips nope only said I can't hv it I felt so weak I agreed to the csection cause I felt like I was putting my baby and myself at risk for not eating/drinking anything for 24+ hrs but I'm home recovering and I keep replaying and asking myself could I hv had a vaginal birth if I was listened to and I'm angry with myself and the doctor and nurses I am also lucky that my fiance and son is there with me because I would have had a terrible cause of postpartum depression
I'm 32 weeks with false labor soooo I'm not trying to bring on labor at all. Do I just need to rest and drink lots of water?
All the videos said rest but I mean how to rest when you are in so much pain!! 😢 I’m having this for 3 nights and so frustrated. Can’t sleep at all… 😭😭
Do you have a video on the opposite end where you can’t really tell if it’s early labor? I’ve been having tons of period-style aches and back pain. Also extreme fatigue. Between taking my girls to my sister’s and getting to the hospital, it’ll be about a 2 hour drive. So I’m getting slightly nervous about a precipitous labor if I don’t realize I’m starting labor. 😬
With my son, contractions started on Friday evening, went to the hospital Saturday evening, was given epedural on sunday evening and he was born Monday morning, after only 5 minutes of pushing. I thought it was normal to be in labour for 2 and a half day as a first time mum.
FTM at 38+4 weeks and once I googled enough to see a set of symptoms that aligned with what I was feeling and found this video, I feel a huge sense of relief!! It’s the not knowing what is going on that was killing me (besides the terrible nightly contractions fest).
Question, is it normal to have a “tight” but not “rock hard” belly between these contractions? It goes on for hours like this walking between the two. I’m wondering if my uterus is just straining so much it’s exhausted..
This was me yesterday and all night lol 😆. I drank a lot of water and laid down on my side and I finally fell asleep at 3:00 a.m. I was so tired 😩.
Call me weird but I’m not ready to have my baby 😳. I’m afraid of the pain, the after effect of labor and csection. Ugh, pray for me y’all. I’m excited about meeting my baby but that other stuff is like noooo no nooo.
Try listening to some hypnobirthing videos they are really helpful with birth/labor anxieties.
My prodromal labor feels so similar to the real labor from first pregnancy 😭 but I know I'm not progressing. sucks
After 4 kids I've never felt my contractions, at least, until I'm in transition. Which kind of sucks. So if feel contractions it's usually prodromal labor.
And its a different stressful when you're 33 weeks experiencing this cause you don't want it to progress to preterm labor :,(
3rd time mom. I'm only 35 and 0 but am going through this! It's been 3 days. It gets bad and then when I finally to bed I wake up and it starts again. I'm 0cm and my doctor says it's just normal. I don't want this baby to come yet but it hurts so bad. I'm at the end of my ropes.
Going through it currently at 33 weeks...really painful...has me crying like a baby
After having prodromal labor from 20 weeks on, I really hope my next one doesn't follow the same pattern.
I’m 37 weeks second baby going for a VBAC this is happening to me right now. I’m getting discouraged I think my scoliosis is stressing out my pelvic floor
Interesting video!! Hope You have a great day!!!
This was so helpful. Thank you
Uggghh, I haaaaaaaaate prodromal labor!!!! Weeks of it with both my births so far. Two full on “labors” with contractions 1 minute long, 5 minutes apart for 12+ hours. Then real labor STILL took 16.5 hours, and I pushed for 2.5 hours! 😵💫 Both my first and second babies. Hoping for shorter when I give birth to my third in October.
I’m on baby 5 and final planned csection for 39 weeks with tubal. I’m now 37 weeks and have been in prodromal labor since 34 weeks. At 34 weeks I went from closed cervix to a 2cm now we sit and wait.
Sarah, would be very nice to know about prodromal labor when women are pregnant with twins. My case thos time.
My friend had this every day for a month!!! gave birth at 42 weeks + 5 at home. poor thing. When she finally did give birth her contractions were still 15 mins apart, midwife had never seen that before. Turned out baby had shoulder dystocia and was stuck, maybe that's part of why. her other 2 births were great
How long can you have prodromal labor without it pushing into active labor? I am drinking water and resting but I am 31 weeks and I don’t want to go into labor obviously. I have a toddler that is almost 2 though so resting is a relative term. I went into labor at 38 weeks with toddler and this is 5th pregnancy.
I had a very lengthy prodromal labor. It came om every night and w a painful regular and consistent. It just didn't progress. It was torture. I was so exhausted. Come to find out she had a short umbilical cord and couldn't engage because the cord was keeping her from dropping. She was eventually born but it was a very very long prodromal labor and active labor.
Please please help a girl out with pregnancy heartburn!!!!!! I'm about 37 weeks, I've taken everything over the counter, changed my diet, tried all natural remedies like gum and almonds. I'm up all night with the burning... thank youuu
Take ginger, apple cider vinegar and make sure your chewing your food more and eating more slowly.
I take ginger tea with some apple cider vinegar and it helps tons. I also add a little cayenne pepper to mine as well with some honey which also helps. You can also trying eating beans, not canned, but fresh beans you cook yourself.
Hii!! Just got the notification and clicked right away.
Can we get the morphine rest after getting an induction? The first time I had one it made my pain go to a whole nother level so I screamed out for the epidural and I would really like to deliver without one.
I never had false labor my first pregnancy. My second pregnancy on the other hand.... Sigh
Currently 36 weeks and 5 days. I was having contractions from 4pm to 1am and the contractions all of a sudden stop. I thought I was gonna have my baby last night.
I always have weeks of prodromal labor for all my pregnancies. Currently pregnant with baby 7 and this one is no different lol
May I ask when did they come, I'm going through the same thing. Thank You.
I get adrenaline when I have to go into hospital or most doctor offices, so when I go to show them "these are not braxton hicks," my body covers it up and then it usually restarts when I'm home again and settling down. 😒
And if I just tell them, no matter the detail I give, I get told they're BH.
No, I have those and this is my third baby, I know the difference. These often make me tear up, I may not talk at the time, I can't focus or eat anything, I want/need to find a spot to get to a quiet spot and lay down, preferably dark and quiet. They don't stop for drinking water, tylenol, new positions, a bath, a massage...they're consistent in time and go on for an hour or more before they relax and wait to start again in a while. I hate them, especially the ones that make me run for the bathroom from pressure.
I've given up, my SO is my current pro on following me around to keep my ice chips on hand and massages and make sure the fan is pointed on me if I start sweating all over. Eventually they settle and I can nap.
I am 38 weeks pregnant and been having crampy Braxton hicks, low back ache, hip pain, and lots of loose bowel movements for almost 2 weeks. Baby has been in my pelvis for 3 weeks (dropped), and I’ve been drinking a lot of water and NORA tea, using my birth ball to open up my pelvis, and walking and taking naps. Is this normal for a first baby? I don’t know what to expect 😭
I wish i could do a morphine drip im 32 weeks with gallstones and painful fake labor im just ready to have this baby 😢 i can definitely feel him trying to pusn out hes just not quite getting it
Thank you for sharing 🙌🏼
I’ve been having these labor like pains that feel like period cramps starting from lower back coming to lower abdomen, the pain lasts for 15ish seconds and come back with regular intervals of 3 mins and it goes on for hours!! I’ve been having it since 30 weeks and it was scary at first since I didn’t know what Braxton hicks or even labor pains felt like due to epidural last time. And also my OB would have no explanation. And then she was like maybe it’s cause you’re dehydrated, OMG I’ve been drinking water like crazy, added electrolytes.
Going on day 4 of consistent painful contractions. 😢🙄
I had 10 days of prodromal labor, 1 day of pre labor, and 3 hours of active labor.
I’m drinking like a fish and this HURTS! And still not dilated! Been going on for a couple weeks now.
can you take calm magnesium to help get rid of prodromal labor but not get rid of actual labor?
One lady I read said her mom who had 10 kids recommends calc magnesium. She said it helped her prodromal labor stop and helped her get better rest.
I’m exhausted. Baby #7. Thought for sure this was labor contractions 1+ min 3 min apart for a few hours. Then my waters broke so headed out to the hospital that’s 45 min away. Got here I’m 4 cm dialated and it’s totally stalled…
They won’t let me home because my waters broke but nothing is happening. I’m so frustrated
What does it mean if your cervix is closed, but very pliable and soft? 30 wks at that time last week. Can doctors digging painfully around your cervix kick start your labor, if sex does? It was bleeding too.I have not been having sex because I want him to stay in there as long as he can. He should be good to go right now, but his brain is still developing and that’s more important to me than my hubby getting lucky sooner
I’ve watched like ten of your videos and you frequently refer to flex and flow but I haven’t heard you explain it! What does it mean?
I have a whole video on it! Xo
Had contractions that lasted 5 days in a row. Was in so much pain I thought I was drying, went into the hospital and found out I was contracting at 4 min apart. This continued for 4.5 days!!!! After a while I decided to get the shot of morphine to help with pain witch then stopped it. Now I am having contractions again and don't know if this is real or not!!!
Hi Sarah I'm due in 13 days on may 6th with our 5th baby I was wondering when I should leave the house we live 3hrs away from the hospital our last daughter was 6hrs of labor
Please help. Prodromal labor x5 days. No sleep. Feel terrible. Advice
?
I miss you Sarah!!
I'm coming back!! Soon soon!!
Having my second baby at UNC today and they brought me the bundle birth page of exercises to do to help facilitate labor ❤️
Needed this so much right now. Thank you!
Morphine did NOTHING to calm it down. I was in pain for three days straight on no sleep, i was almost 42 weeks. They never checked me but told me until my water broke I had to go home. 😒 It finally did but at that stage the dr should have broke my water.
Yeah it's so annoying like.....let's get the show on the road body!!!!
My prodromal labor lasted for 4 days at 3cm which ended up with an induction and 29 hours of pitocin driven labor 😅
Question: what if your baby is engaged and in a great position (this is baby #4 and I can tell and doctor confirmed) but you are still having prodromal labor? I have never had this with my other labors. I am exhausted. And I am nervous because as soon as I hit active labor I go very fast and already live 40 minutes from the hospital.
This is exactly my experience. How did things work out for you?
I'm currently experiencing this as well. My due date is today 😊
What if you can't have morphine... I'm allergic to morphine and in prodromal labor. At 35 weeks.n
I’m 37weeks on my 4th. 3cm 70% effaced and baby is minus 2 station. I have Braxton hicks all day everyday 😩 I just want it to start
Prodromal labor sucks sooo bad. I was in prodromal labor for 3 days with contractions 10 mins apart 😑
For some reason, side lying causes my horrible contractions. I have to sleep sitting up for this 3rd baby. It’s rough.
Same here. How did the birth go?
@@NehaMishra-ih9sv I feel so much better not being pregnant. I love seeing and holding my baby. I had a spinal and it went great. Recovery was rough but I’m back to normal now. Just need to lose weight lol.
