so angry!

So I was having contractions at 4 minutes apart, so I call my doctor and they say go in. I go in and they hook me up to the monitors and they were like falling off of me. They weren't even reading the babies heartrate. Then she tells me I'm having contractions but theyre not consistent enough for labor... I'm so angry, I know they were, i doubt the monitor was reading half of them. So my husband and I wasted 4 hours at the hospital for nothing. The nurse was basically like "don't come back until you have painful contractions" which mine were. AND they didn't even check to see if I was dilated or effaced. I'm so angry. I just want this baby out. I have an appt next Wednesday with my doctor. I'm hoping the check me and I'm dilated enough they send me straight to l&d. UGH!

Praying that all of us have these babies soon! I am so annoyed with being pregnant. I keep getting "painful contractions" but their not consistent.

I had the same thing happend to me on Sunday . I was having contractions 5 mins apart went to the hospital for them to say my contractions weren't makin me dialte so it was false labor . They sent me home I was so upset . I saw my doctor yesterday and he thinks I'm gonna go in to labor this week bc she checked me I was 2cm and 70% effaced and my cervix was completely thinned out . She stripped my membranes for the 2nd time and said I should have baby this week . I hope she's right

I went through almost the same thing Friday night! My contractions started at 9 and were really close together lasted for an hour so we started the 20min drive to l&d got there they hooked me up and I was having contractions off the chart! But I didn't dilate any while I was there so they sent me home we were so excited to finally meet our son! Were both first time parents! I've been a little depressed since then I haven't been out of bed much...

Omg I am so glad it is not just me. Because I am seriously so frustrated. I woke up several times last night out of a dead sleep with extremely painful contractions. Painful to the point I tried to get up and walk and i couldn't. I seriously don't know what to do because I don't feel like I can go in, despite my doctor saying to go.

And I cannot forget about my couponning deals lol. Gotta help my fellow mamas out!

I'm in the same spot!  I'm 6cm dilated and 100% effaced so my obgyn sent me to the hospital and they sent me home because I can't feel the contractions even when they are showing on the screen and said it could be weeks before I have my son! What is wrong with hospitals!?

I am the same way I've been having contractions for 3 days now they are 5-8 minutes apart and they've sent me home from the hospital twice saying that my contractions aren't strong enough for them to keep me and I'm only effaced 50% and not dilated at all so they say they can't keep me
