Just left L&D after sitting there for almost 5 hrs having strong contractions 2-5 mins apart. They sent me home due to false labor bc there was no change in my cervix.. still having the contractions but they told me i was ok to leave im officialy 36+3weeks n 2.5 cm dialated.. ftm
The nurse in L&D was amazing though.. she told me that is what they were there for was to make sure me n my LO were ok. If i was unsure or in pain i needed to go just to be safe and not to worry if they sent me home atleast i would kno that we were ok. Plus the whole time i was on a monitor able to listen to my LO heart beat.. Its reassuring.
See this is what I'm worried about. I'm 38 weeks and have been having consistent contractions for the past 12 hours averaging 6 minutes apart. I don't wanna go to l&d for them to send me home... They aren't super strong I mean some are but this morning they've mellowed out. I feel your pain
Im sorry hun! Shouldnt be too much longer now! I would keep an eye on contractions if they last more than a few days! Some women can not dilate on their own despite contractions. So if you continue having them at regular intervals i would go back in!
