Your contractions start…

you think this is it…

And then they stop.

Or they come back later.

Stronger. Closer together.

And then… nothing again.

It’s confusing.

It’s exhausting.

And honestly? It can mess with your head.

Because now you’re wondering:

👉 Is this real labor?

👉 Am I doing something wrong?

👉 How am I supposed to handle this if it keeps happening?

Here’s what most moms aren’t told:

This isn’t “just false labor.”

And it’s definitely not your body failing.

It’s called prodromal labor—

and your body is actually trying to prepare.

But without the right support, it can feel like you’re stuck in this frustrating loop.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ what prodromal labor actually is

✨ why your contractions keep starting and stopping

✨ what your body is trying to do

✨ and how to support your body so labor can progress
