trying to move the baby into the correct position for
labor. Basically, the uterus tries to move the baby with
contractions for several hours and eventually stops if it
doesn’t work, only to start again after resting. This
theory may make sense as moms with a baby in breech
position are more likely to experience these early
contractions (this was true in my case).
● Pelvic or uterine abnormality — It seems that
some women are more prone to prodromal labor than
others, leading some sources to think that it may relate
to an uneven pelvis or uterine abnormality.
● Emotions or anxiety — Another theory is that
prodromal labor is more likely in women who are
anxious or concerned about their birth or who are
experiencing a lot of stress.
● More than three pregnancies — There are
definitely exceptions, but prodromal labor seems to be
more common in moms who have had at least three
children. Perhaps there is an element of the way the
uterus changes or relaxes after several pregnancies.
