Labor and delivery
Did anyone get sent back home from labor and delivery when they was 4 1/2 cm dilated and 90% effaced with water bag bulging?

Yes I was at 5cm and wasn't getting any mrle dilated so they sent me home twice! When I came the third time they would've sent me home if my water wasn't breaking. I was practically gushing and they couldn't tell until I said something that I was in active labor but still dilating slow
Some hospitals will send you home to avoid a cascade of unnecessary interventions. It happened to me, I was sent home early labour after having some pain relief then came back when the pain relief wore off and I was 9cm dilated by then.
Whoa! I guess it depends on the hospital. I was admitted to the hospital even though I was only 3cm dilated and 70% effaced but then again water had broken and they wanted to keep me to reduce the risk of infection

Haha yes they sent me back (40 min for the road back home) in the late evening because I had „no contractions, just the baby moving“ a midwife was telling me. Horrible because of course I had contractions. I had to suffer the whole night at home and in the morning I came again and I guess it was 4cm or a bit less when they told me I have to stay. So normally at 4 they need to let you there.
