Wondering how long you can stay 5 cm dilated for before labor begins?

That is just crazy and scary. I hope you go to a different hospital and they keep you. I'd complain to the medical board  and who ever the higher ups are. They should have kept you. Sending good thoughts and vibes your way.

5cm Is Active Labor, I Thouqht My Hospital Was The Only Stupid One But Guess I Was Wronq.
My Hospital Wouldn't Take Me Unless My Water Broke, They Don't Care How Cm You Are Or If Your Having Contractions .
But Wow... I'm Sorry There Not Keepinq You, Honestly Just Throw A ***** Fit, Give Them A Hard Time And Over Exaggerate On Your Pain And MAKE THEM KEEP YOU.
I Wish You Luck Hunny And God Bless.
