Anyone had/having it? How long has it been for you or how long did it last before birth? What was it like?
I've been in it (according to my dr) since Thursday. Contractions are every 2-30 minutes. When they are spaced in the 10-30 minute they aren't too bad & do not bother me much. It's when they start getting closer that I'm struggling. 3 or 4 times a day/night they get to be 2-3 minutes apart lasting a minute & using a lot of concentration to get through. Just when I'm ready to call in my mom for our toddler & call my husband home from work they stretch out again. It's driving me nuts!
Re: Latent/prodromal Labor?
I haven't experienced this, but a friend of mine did. Her inconsistent contractions lasted about a week, even though her midwife kept saying "you'll have that baby tomorrow!"
It took until her water broke for her contractions to finally start being regular and full strength. She is just a slow laborer it seems, as she didn't really go into labor with her first kiddo until her water broke either and they supplimented with pitocin.

I know that it's frustrating, but try to think of it that they ARE doing something. They're preparing your body for labor. You could also have slow cervical change. If nothing else they're toning your uterus for active labor. So they are doing something, just maybe not quite as much as you want them to be doing
Hang in there mama! It'll happen soon!
