Hospital

I came here 6 hrs ago for reduced fetal movement over the past 24 hrs.
Well of course she started moving as soon as they hooked me up to the monitor.
BUT i had to many contractions so now they won't let me go.

I've been having contractions all day everyday for two months now painless braxton hicks.

They gave me a shot and two pills and i really just wanna go home..
My question is how long do they usually keep you and monitor you for stuff like this?
Because from my understanding i havent had a contraction in 2 hrs.

I was in there for 2 days the day after I got out was my doc appointment so I went and she listened to the baby's heartbeat and when she was measuring my belly she kept feeling me have contractions so she admitted me back into the hospital where I stayed for another few days. I guess just depends where your at and how far along you are.

You can leave. They cant hold you against your will. Your not in jail. I went for spotting with my 1st and they had me hook up for maybe 15 hours. Never again!
