Contractions that go nowhere

Elizabeth A

Last night I had contractions every 5 minutes for a couple hours. I went in to L&D; and was only 1 cm. They had me walk for 2 hours and I ended up going home because contractions basically stopped. So frustrating!! Anyone have similar situation?? Plus they’re painful! I think I’m a wuss though. I didn’t have this experience with my first - my water broke the first time and they had to induce me and I got the epidural early on.
