Time to go in?
posted 23rd Sep
I was in labor and delivery about 3 days ago. While i was there i wasn't dilated but i was 50 % effaced . They made me walk and about 4 minutes later i was 1 cm and 90 % effaced. They admitted me , but i didn't make much progress overnight i only went up to 2 cm my contractions were all every 5 minutes the whole time i was there.. They sent me home :'( i am 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my first a girl. Ever since they sent me home i walked did squats and had sex, nipple stimulation. I think it's working my contractions are about every 4 minutes now, and i feel extremely uncomfortable to the point where i can't walk and i am crying. I want to go in but i don't want to get sent home again and i don't want to seem annoying.. What should i do?
Sorry this is so long.

Go In!
When I had my son I only made it till 8 minutes apart before I couldn't take it anymore and went in.

If they are staying consistent and getting more painful then head in. If you are planning a natural birth with no pain meds you are probably safe to wait it out a bit. Trust your gut some women take forever with their first and some go really fast once things start going.

I would go in and get checked if you are that uncomfortable. If they think you are annoying that is their problem. Hope it is time and your LO is here quick for you. Good luck.
