Starting to get scared

My due date was 3 days ago. I was dilated to 5th. She just told me to go home. I feel things that are probably contractions but they don't hurt. I live an hour away from the hospital. Should I just go in? I have to be more dilated by now from having those contractions.....? I really don't want pitocin though. Had that with my last pregnancy and can't bare to do that over again. Help!

I think being home is more comfortable than being in the hospital.  They say keep moving by walking and lrt gravity work. However if you would feel better being there then go back and tell them that. Good luck.
