Went to the hospital at 3cm, and ended up back home. Went back when I couldnt stand it anymore and was able to get to 5! Got the epidural around 5 pm and am now at 9, waiting on his little head to drop further down and to go the last cm! Will be holding my little one soon :)
Congratulations! Can i ask what your status was at your last check up? Dilated and/or effaced at all?
I had contractions four mins apart went in and was 3cm . Went home . 12Hes later my dr called and told me to go in . Still having them four mins apart but i was 5cm !had my baby boy 3hrs later. I say once you get to four go in. You never know how fast it can go.
I stayed home with my 2nd as long as I could also and when I got to the hospital I was dilated to 8. But during that time I walked, did squats, rocked on a chair. And mostly tried to squat as I had the contractions all that helped thank God. Hope everything goes well. And fast.
