It keeps going . . . . and going . . . .
Yup, I'm still contracting. 4 minutes apart. I'm quite uncomfortable - tons of back labor/pain. They are stronger, but not strong enough to go to the hospital yet. I have been trying to use the hypnobirthing techniques, but there are 2 problems so far: 1) I'm on day 4 of these contractions - it isn't like I can sit and "relax" for 4 days straight; 2) I didn't count on the back labor - it is hard to find a position that is sufficiently comfortable for relaxing. I called the midwives to talk about this, because I don't think I can keep on doing this without end. We are going in tomorrow at 8:15 to check my progress and see what the next steps are. I think I will be crying hysterically if they don't tell me I've been making progress.

Ask your midwives for some exercises. Back labor means he is posterior, doing squats, sitting on a ball and leaning forward, pelvic rocking and other exercises can help turn him and make the labor progress better.
I had 2 weeks of prodromal labor, it stinks (((hug))))
Good luck at your appointment!!! Hopefully you've moved very well along and they can take you in :)
Wishing you all the best....Hurry lil man Hurry!!!
OMG the time is coming! What am I going to do without your constant positive messages to keep me calm? :( I'm praying for a safe and healthy delivery!
