    Prodromal Labor for FOUR days so far.
    I have been in prodromal labor for four days so far and the contractions are getting worse and worse. They went from two days of being 5 minutes apart (and only 1/2 centeimeter dialated) to now 8 minutes apart and really painful (at about 2 cm dialated) I had my show about two nights ago. The doctors had me come in last night to the hospital when there was a small bit of blood. The contractions currently are stronger than ever and are 8 minutes apart. Showering doesn't make them go away or help at all. Baby has completely dropped now, and for a tiny girl already I look like I just have chub on me now :eek: I've also lost over 5 pounds in these last 4 days.

    I've tried;;
    - spicy foods
    - raspberry tea.
    - Pineapples
    - Power walking the mall and all around
    - Also a chiropractic adjustment of my SI joint to contract the uterus

    Does anybody have any advice to help speed up this stage... or things that have worked for them?

    Honey the baby will come when she's ready.
    I have been in what also feels like labor for a week now and dialated to 3 since last Monday.
    Hopefully it won't be much longer...
