Dilated 2cm and I was sent home

[noemi32]

I went to my ob to get checked because I was having some cramps and contractions and she checked me and told me I was 2 cm and was sent to The hospital but I was sent home later that day and I'm still experiencing cramps and some contractions here and there. I don't know if I should go to the hospital to get checked again plus I have a C section date I don't know what to do.

Thank you to all of you

yes, I got sent home too and remained at 3 cm for over a week.  The cervix can open slowly or fast.  So watch your contractions!   You're getting close! good luck

I was sent home at 5 1/2cm dilated because my contractions aren't as strong as they want them to be.
So I know how you feel.

If this is your 2nd or more baby being 2cm is normal,  most women who have had babies before don't have a completely closed cervix.  If you have a caesarean booked for a medical reason then you should speak to them if you feel the tightenings become stronger.  If you're medically OK to have a normal birth then stay at home if you can and relax and go in and be assessed when you feel contractions are 3 in 10 minutes lasting 45-60 seconds each. Hope this helps

Even dilation at 3 you can be sent home depends on how much you are effaced as well! Just check in with Ob iespecially if contractions feel stronger!
