Oh and they told me to just stay home till they were 2 mins apart for 2 hours and I couldn't talk through the contractions. The next time I went to the hospital I knew they were gonna keep me. I didn't even time them

I went to the hospital when my contraction were 5 mins apart and had been that way for awhile! And slightly painful. Tried everything to see if it was real labor and nothing took them away. I ended up only being 1 cm dialated and they sent me home ): its up to you if you go. It can't hurt!
