Thought it was time......

Yesterday I was having contractions 5 minutes apart for 3 hours so we called the doctor and was told to go to LD. When we got there I was hooked up to the monitor for a little. Contractions were 58miutes apart 1 minute. Dilated to 2. Progress from earlier in the week bc I was. 5cm
The doctor said she would give me the choice to labor at home or stay in the hospital which could take hours. We decided to go home this way I would be more comfortable. She said she thinks i maybe back later that night or Sunday.
Had contractions all last night. Woke up to intense contractions at 4. Lasted 2 hours and then started to die down. Now Ive been having mild ones and still at home.
Anyone have a similar story?

I had my contractions die off a bit in the hospital after my water broke so they gave me a small dose of pitocin to keep them coming and consistent. Good luck!

I thought yesterday was it - 4:30 to 6:30 every 5 minutes, got up to shower & be ready - and, it stopped.

Me! I had really bad contractions all night last night, finally went to l&d and of course they died off. I was only dialated to 3, which is progress being when I was checked on friday the babys head was high and I was closed. I am not home having sporadic contractions, so hopefully in the next day or two it will be the real thing!

I went in last Sunday only to have the contractions completely quit by the time I got to the hospital.  I was so disappointed and embarrassed!

That is kind of how my labor was. I had contractions 5 to 6 mins apart, then 3 to 4, so we went to LD. Once I got there, they stopped being painful and were 3 mins apart. After an hour they were somewhat painful, but 4 to 5 mins apart. I was progressing slowly, from 3 1/2 to 4 then to 5 after 2 hours or so.

Thy admitted me and the contractions started getting painful and closer, so I got an epi and they pretty much stopped. I had to have my water broken and pitocin and it progressed quickly from there.

I think if I wouldn't have already been dilated to 3 1/2 when the contractions started, they wouldn't have kept me because my labor was just funky and seemed like false labor with all the irregularity. Hopefully yours will pick up again and keep going, walking made them start back up again, so definitely stay active! Good luck!
