The is such thing as Pre-labor, but I have read so many mixed things about what they symptoms are. Right now I am 38 weeks. Last Saturday I have these incredibly awful, (what I thought were gas pains) that caused me to buckle over and scream. I had them all night sat. night, then again on sunday. I went to l&d bc I had no idea what they were. I was told I was 1cm dilated...but the pain disappeared. Then it came back every night around the same time, would stay for 4 hrs. or so and then go away. I have also had diarrhea since saturday. (which they say is also a sign of early labor) Anyways, on Tuesday when I went to see my Dr, I was 2cm dilated and 70% effaced. I have been having contractions daily ever since. And I can feel him pressing down VERY hard on my cervix and nerves, it sends shooting pains down my inner thighs. It ***** horribly. My dr. told me I was in Prodromal Labor...and it could last for weeks before active labor begins -____- I am not happy about this. lol. I have a Dr. appt. on Tuesday so I'm hoping and praying for some progression in my cervix! I don't know the difference between, early labor, Prodromal labor, and Pre-labor, from my understanding they're all the same thing. All that I know is that these contractions and all this pain and discomfort had better be making progress. lol.
lol tell me about it! well everything is getting progressivly worse, but ever so slowly. i just wish it would all get worse quicker or get better soon so its not like limbo. i dont know what to do with myself
Oh yes, I definitely know the feeling!!! I am soooo sick of being so sick, on and off like this.
