I had about 3 weeks of prodromal labor with my second. The waves were SO uncomfortable. Which scared me because I thought my HB just wasn’t working. They were frustratingly close together but not “baby-getting”. I think there was a big emotional block (our house wasn’t finished, and people were there that I didn’t WANT there) and a week after it was done and they left, my waves turned into baby-getting ones and they felt GREAT! So different. And just like it says in the scripts, my HB DID work for me when it was time for my baby to be born.
my waves were probably uncomfortable because i wasn’t allowing my body to just do what it needed. i was “holding back” and “holding” my baby in.
