hospital time?

A friend and i are both pregnant but unfortunately shes having alot of complications.  She got put on bed rest at 27 weeks because her cervix is much shorter than normal and she started having contractions. they have stopped them several times now and she is currently 36 weeks. She thinks her water broke two days ago and i told her she should head to the hospital. One doctor decided her water had broke and being inducing her. 5 hours go by and a new doctor comes in and stops the induction saying her water never broke, that she just had a tear. They sent her home and now she is having intense contractions and she said she feels like her baby is about to make way. She wants to wait till morning to go back to the hospital but i think she should race up there now! Any one agree or disagree?

I told her that the day her water broke but the 2nd doctor is convinced its just a tear and already sent her home. Theyve been stopping her contractions for weeks and now that theyve induced her and stopped the induction to send her home i worry for her. I told her to try the other hospital in the area but she is still trying to wait till morning to go back to the same hospital thats messing with her!
