Early Labor

[Chanee20]

I'm 38 weeks and 6 days today and I have been having contractions since 5:30Am Went To L&D And Was Told I'm 2Cm And 75% Effaced But They Let Me Go Home So My Question Is When Should I Go Back I'm Still Having Strong Contractions About 5 Minutes Apart They Seem To Be Getting Worst Do You Think I'll Have Her Today???

My midwife said contractions lasting 3mins writhing 10 mins you should go in. But then it depends on your body

Try taking a hot bath or even shower. Sometimes the hot water helps to relax  your body in a way that progresses labor. Plus the hot water helps with the discomfort (double bonus;). Continue timing them. I even downloaded a contraction timer on my phone to make it easy for me. If they continue over the next hour I would call L&D and go back in to be checked.

How long had it been since they sent you home?

You might!  If they are continent to increase in strength and frequency than (depending on your time zone) I'd say your at least very well on your way!  Good luck.
