Midwife said to go to hospital but she measured my dilation incorrectly!
I am sooooo deflated. I went in for my 39 week check up (I’m 39+4) and my midwife was like you need to go to the hospital you are 6 cm and 100% effaced. So I drove home calmly and got my act together. I thought it was odd I didn’t feel any pain but I have a high pain threshold in general .. plus when your midwife tells you that you listen!
Fast forward to us getting to the hospital a couple hours later, I go in. The midwife on call for labor shows up, I get setup for the initial monitoring and then she checks me. She tells me I’m only 75% effaced and a puny 2 cm dilated. I wanted to SOB. I still feel so upset. Trying to remain calm and cool but I am really really angry. I never even hinted that I thought I was in labor but when I was told I was I got so excited and ready emotionally and I feel like garbage.
