There's no need to go in unless you're having contractions 3-5 min apart or your water breaks. I'm sure you'll have a quick delivery since you are already at a 5 so as soon as the pains start coming or your water breaks head over. But I agree that the less time you spend at the hospital the less chance of them interfering with your birth plan or labor.
I'm not sure why everyone says to rush to the hospital at the first tiny signs of labor. You shouldn't go to the hospital till your in active labor having contractions 5 minutes apart or closer. Or if there are complications. You should spend most of your labor at home where you are comfortable and less likely to have interventions. Have a bath, try and get some rest, labor sounds very close for you, you may even be in early labor. Best of luck
They didn't admit me because it wasn't active labor
But im not in any real pain
Yes, go now!! I'm surprised they didn't admit you once they knew you were 3 cm dilated. Congrats, it sounds like baby is on the way!
Yes go to the hospital sounds like baby is on the way! Congrats and good luck!
Yep! I'm surprised your water hasn't broken. Sounds like baby is coming. Good luck!
