Oh the lovely hospital - You might be in labor, but go home.

posted 13th Feb
We went to the hospital 2 times yesterday, the first of which my midwife says OH! You're gonna have a baby tonight and you're in labor. Contractions were hitting down low and I was 5cm. She says. go home take a shower and come back when you're ready.
Second time, after a nice long waiting room... Nurse says well you haven't progressed any so. Bye bye.
Now I've had this nasty mucus/blood thing for about 3 days straight too - like mucus plug x100 everytime I use the bathroom too and super pressure in my front pelvis. I'm gonna end up crowning before they admit me in, and we live 40 minutes away. They told me not to come back unless my 1. water breaks 2. baby stops moving 3. super bleed gush (like placenta previa stuff)
Gotta love it...

If you're not progressing, they will send you home. It's procedure.

Masturbate.
It's really an orgasm that helps contractions anyway, not semen or a penis.

See I thought with the contractions and blood and all the fun stuff that it wouldn't matter once you were that far - If i go in at 7cm are they going to send me home if I don't progress anymore in a certain amount of time?

Semen has prostaglandins in it that help he uterus to contract and soften the cervix. So semen can help.

they tried doing that with my SIL here, her doctor was on vacation so the on-call dr told her that she needed to go home since she wasn't progressing, they were getting her ready to go home, but they decided to check her one last time and 5 minutes later she had my nephew/// At the hospital I had both my kids at wont let you go home once you hit 4cm, when I went in I was only at 3cm, but the nurse did everything she could to help me get to a 4 so I could be admitted.

Do you have one of those exercise balls you could sit on? Those always helped move things along for me. Or maybe try doing deep squats while holding onto both sides of a door knob (obviously with the door open).

So what happens if you are at 4cm with no contractions? Do they just induce you? I was 4cm for like two weeks no way would I of been induced at 37 weeks.

Here they say "the point of no return" is 6cm. But if you have contractions every 2 mins or less they keep you even if progress is VERY slow. If you stay though & dont' progress, be aware they are mor elikely topush for c-section of they say dilation has stalled. I was stuck at 4cm, with contractions every 2 mins for something like 8 hrs with my last one. :/ With that said, contractions were every 2mins & I was at a 1 & it took me like 12 hrs to get to a 4. I kept going home, but they wer eoffering ot admit me from being at 1cm (and I had already been in labor for over 24 hrs THEN. Grrrr.). I chose to go home because I live so close I could walk, so I prefer to be home in that case. I'd feel MUCH differently I think if it were 40 mins away.

I glad that my water broke with all my kids before contractions ever started. It takes the guessing out of it. Though each time the nurses did not believe me when I walked into labor and delivery. I mean by the time i was having my 3rd baby i believe know what is happening lol.

They sent me home with my first dumping blood. And contractions 3 mins apart bc it wasn't intense enough.. I called later and said I bled thru my pants and pad all over my couch! They said "you can come in if you want but bleeding after an exams normal".. went in and I was crowning. Sometimes its best to wait in your car a while and go right back in. I almost had a highway baby. Not my idea of a good time.

They almost sent me home with my first. The nurse went to get my discharge paperwork because she thought I was faking. She kept saying my contractions weren't that bad. My water broke as soon as she left the room and when she checked, my son's head was almost out. She had to hold my legs shut until they could get me in a delivery room.
