home from hospital to wait it out

So I just got home from hospital after have inconsistent contractions all day then them becoming 5 minutes apart for over an hour. Got to the hospital and sure enough they were 5 minutes apart but I wasn't dilating quickly enough so they sent me home and said come back when they are a little closer together aaagghh so tired of this just give me the pitocin so I can dialate already.

Walk around if you still have contractions.. thats one way to help dilate! I had gotten sent home with my first pregnancy, I walked around for a few hours and went back, sure enough I had dilated to 4 cm so they kept me there.

Yea ask and see what the doc say. I'm getting induced again this pregnancy also but on my due date. Instead of a week before and picking the birthdate. Unless something happen before then which I would like lol

I'm almost 2cm almost no change since my doc appointment last Wednesday I go again this Wednesday I'm going to talk to them about inducing me. My mom doesn't dialate at all so I may not be able to well or something I don't know.
