so angry!

I Just Went To L&D Due To Contractions Being 3mMins Apart, Nausea, And A Migraine. The Doctor Checked Me When I Got There And Said I Was 90% effaced And 2 Cms Dilated. They Put Me On A Monitor And Initially SaidI Was Not Contracting....... Turns Out They Put Me On A Broken Monitor. So I Get Put On A Working One And They Say I'm Having ContractionsEvery 3 Minutes But Only Having Bad Ones Every 6 OR So. Then A Nurse With Huge Fingers Comes In And Checks Me And Says Im Still Only Dilated To A 2.5 Ish....... MyDoctor Was A Petite Women With Tiny Fingers And SheSaid  I Was At A 2 To Begin With...... They Then Told Me Not To Take My BloodThinners In Case I Come Back Tonight But That They Were Going To Let Me Go Home To Labor On My Own Because I Had No Change. They Gave Me A Bunch Of Percocet And Told Me To Go Home And Only Come Back When My Water Breaks Or I Can No Longer Speak. They Failed To Mention That They Had No Beds And Were Understaffed. Im 40 Weeks 3 Days.....Im So Mad. Now I'm Sitting At Home In Labor, Hoping That When I Finally Get To The Point I Can't Speak, I Will Have Time To Make It To ThE Hospital...

I Just Wish They Would Have At Least Told Me They Had No Rooms. I Would Have Gone To Another Hospital. I Called My Doctor And He Just Said Go Back.If It Gets Worse. I Wish They Would Just Start Pictocin. Im So Tired Of Gettin Sent Home For Not Progressing Bu Still Living With My Contractions.

I would call the doctor and explain whats going on and see what they want u to do. And if you don't feel comfortable going back to that hospital tell your doctor.  I really don't see why they sent u away id be pissed raising hell! You take control of the situation and tell them you need to be taken care if now! Good luck doll!

I Ended Up Going Home. The Pain Meds They Gave Me Made The ContractionsEnough For Me To Handle And Now They Are Slowly Coming Back In Full Force. I Will Probably Be Going To A Different Hospital This Afternoon. I Feel Terrible.

I agree with destiny luv01 I wouldn't go home. Id stay there and monitor myself.  My doctor told me to go to hospital when my contractions were 5 minutes apart for one hour
