I’m 35 weeks currently, I’ve been having strong contractions for days. I’m dilated to a 4 and 100% effaced as of 2 days ago. I got sent home from the hospital because I didn’t change from 4 to 5 within an hour, even though my contractions were 2-5 mins apart 🙁 TMI: yesterday I had a lot of mucus when I wiped that had a tinge of blood. My first son was preterm as well, but they stopped my labor with him. With this baby they say I’m far enough not to stop but too soon to induce. The pain has been awful. Has anyone else been through this and how long did it last??
