My baby girl is here is wall of shame for medical staff.

I'm going to tell my story in reverse: My precious Trista Joy arrived on the 24th at 3:20 25min. After arriving to the hospital for the third time in less than 24hours. I'm grateful we are both okay and doing well, but pretty ticked that despite this being baby#7 for me no seemed to believe I was in labor and we almost didn't make it to the hospital. First time I went in I was having a lot of contractions but not much discomfort so just wanted to know how dialated I wad. I was 2 cm. Which was same as it had been at doctors office, but after the exam I was definitely cramping more so I think she had stirred things up.  We came back 7 hours later because now I knew I was in labor as intensity had increased and I was 3 cm. They made my family wait in a tiny room for 3 hours in the middle of the night saying I needed to go home because I wasn't progressing. We live almost an hour from the hospital. 7 hours later the pain is too much to stay at home so we head to hospital as I swear over every bump and wind in the road (I don't normally swear) being pissed that I knew I was in labor and why wouldn't they believe me.  I was only 6cm when I arrived to hospital, but being that daughter arrived 25 min later that is proof that #s don't mean everything. Trust your body and don't be afraid to be your own advocate!

Congrats! How far were you?  They send me home at 37 weeks and at 38 she was born.  I Heard is a new law, unless really necessary,  they try to keep the babies in until 39 or 40 weeks
