can you be in labor without contractions? this is my second baby but ive experienced everything SO different compared to the first go round.
anyway, around 8pm i started having contractions 2 min apart and 45 seconds long. ive been in prodromal labor for two weeks now so that didn't surprise me at all. well now they've died down (also expected) but i have the worst lower back pain and I can hardly walk. its starting to wrap the front too but I'm only having contractions every 20 or so min. its been 9 hours since this started and I haven't been able to sleep 😴😓

Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I wonder if you should call and ask them about the back pain you're having? Maybe it's back labor? I don't know much (first time mom).
