According healthline.com, prodromal labor is the labor that "stops before fully active labor begins." It is often referred as "false labor" because it does not necessarily lead directly to birth.
Fifteen hours later, the fifth-time mom said she had a swift delivery. "Got to the hospital at 10 a.m., by 10:52 a.m., baby's out!" she wrote.
Anya Love is the couple's second daughter. They have four other children — Primo (8) Leon (6), Alana (4), and Astro (2). In 2024, Villania and Arellano their 10th wedding anniversary.
