Had a sweep yesterday and about midnight I started having contractions 5 min apart for an hour so decided to head to the hospital. When I get there, contractions had slowed down to about 10 min aparts and still 2cm dilated 😭 so got sent home. Hoping she comes soon I’m sad really thought it was baby time 😩 this is hard

My baby does the exact same thing. I’ll think it’s go time and she’s like “sike”🥰

Torture😭

I also heard that the light and monitors in the hospital can unconsciously make your body feel unsafe so labor slows way down. So I know the waiting part sucks and I haven’t even experienced it yet but if you can wait until they get really close depending on your distance to the hospital, then your body may feel all ready. Best of luck mama and hope it goes well!!

this totally makes sense. They also didn’t let my partner in with me while I was getting checked and It made me more uneasy and nervous plus I had a male
Doctor as well😭 and really would’ve felt more comfortable with a woman. Thank you 🙏🏻
