3rd Trimester

pre-labor length

Just how long can this krappy in-between thing last? I've got constant back ache, my stomach tightens up occasionally, but I don't feel in pain from that, and I'm 3cm with 80% effacement... i'm in SUCH a bad mood...

Re: pre-labor length

  • Unfortunately, weeks. :(

    Last time I had contractions and other signs for about 4 weeks. 

    This time I'm going on about 2 weeks of serious pre-labor signs. It does suck because it's all such a tease. 

    Hopefully yours doesn't last that long though. Good luck!

  • I feel you. I've been having contractions on and off for over a week now. They've been time-able since yesterday and I am miserable. Right now they are about every 6 minutes lasting about a minute each. They are getting a bit uncomfortable, but not enough to go in. The baby is really low and I'm 90% effaced, but the doctor said until my cervix moves down the contractions aren't going to do much.

    I really hope neither one of us has much longer.

    I feel ya. I'm in the same place as you are and I am just waiting and waiting for the REAL thing to happen!
  • With my first I walked into hosp for delivery at 7cm dilated and 50% effaced, I was being induced and once they hooked me up said I was contracting without knowing it.. So it varies, I had off and on contractions for like a month before she ever showed up..
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I'm right there with you. My midwife said my cervix is paper thin and my LO is as far down as he can get... Now i just need to progress passed 2cm. I have been at 2cm for three weeks. I just hope when i go in monday it has changed.

    Good Luck. sending labor dust your way. Big Smile
