@shannonstokely: Just living life while we wait for baby Opal to decide when she’s ready 🤍

Shannon Stokely :

I’ve been sitting here reading through all of y’all’s comments, and I just want to say thank you. Seriously. For every prayer, every encouraging word, and every single one of you who has shared your own experience with prodromal labor. 🤍 This pregnancy has humbled me in so many ways. There are so many things women go through during pregnancy that I honestly never understood because I didn’t experience them with my first two. And every time I share something new I’m going through, I’m reminded just how many of you have been there too. I know I’ll never be able to respond to every comment, but please know I read so many of them. I see your stories, your advice, your prayers, and the way y’all continue to show up for me and my family. Sharing my life online can feel vulnerable sometimes, but having this little community to walk through these seasons with makes it feel a whole lot less lonely. So truly, thank you for being here. 🤍

I had prodromal labor with my 3rd pregnancy too! For a MONTH. Then exactly 40+0 I woke up and my waters went and I had my baby 2 hours later 😁 The pain was nothing, because I had it for a month before the actual event.

hey girl, we have been pregnant together this whole time. i was supposed to have daughter on september 5th but unfortunately i went into labor at 37 weeks 6 days. truly my labor and delivery was not what i planned. her head rate dropped, had to get the epidural 2 times. got a catheter put in me 3 times. i ended up having a c section. you are allowed to grief and love the experience. your allowed to feel your feelings and still be so happy at the same time. i promise that no matter what happens you’ll be okay. keep it up momma!! your doing amazing🩷

I was in prodromal labor for 1.5 weeks with my last and he needed to be evicted. there were reasons that I was in prodromal labor as long as I was is because the cord was wrapped around his neck so he wasn't decending like he should have been. I was already scheduled for induction because of health reasons and because of the complications it was a good thing that I was being induced

Jacklyn☀️ :

I had prodromal labor with all 4 of my kids. And my husband works 1hrs and 45 min away. I’ve been lucky that once I was really in active labor my husband been home. I always stressed out because of prodromal labor.

Dannielle :

I did that for over 3 months it was horrible

Ash :

You can do this!!! I totally understand the mom guilt around not being able to be the fun mom you usually are when you’re not pregnant and I feel it too. I’m pregnant with twins and have a 1 year old at home before I was pregnant we were at the pool and park weekly and usually the library too. We finally went to the library yesterday for the first time in months and I was reminded that it’s only a season before you know it they’ll be happy they have more siblings to enjoy all the fun times with
