Prodromal Labor

HELP ME PLEASE! I have been having prodromal labor for 10 hours on average every night for the past 4 nights. This is my third baby and I know what a contraction feels like, these are not braxton hicks. I cannot sleep through the contractions, they are very painful. They just fizzle out and stop. I read this can go on for weeks. Has anyone had these? I am 37 weeks and 4 days. I have tried changing position, drinking lots of water and showering but nothing helps. I am so tired and I can not function. Any advice or experiences you want to share?

That happened with with my second baby.  It went on all night and stopped as soon as I got up in the morning.  I was fried.  I finally begged them to break my water.  The midwife told me how much that would increase my chances of interventions etc.  I insisted.  They broke my water at 4:00 pm and my daughter was born at 4:45 pm (the same day)

How is baby's position? Prodromal labor could be your body trying to get baby in a more optimal position.

 

I have had two out of two posterior births. My OB said its probably anatomical. So that may have something to do with it. I am seeing a Webster trained chiropractor and watching the way I sit and move. But with my second, I tried spinning babies and the chiropractor to no avail. Thats the way they come out of me.
