I went in for my 40 week appointment today (I’m 40+2) and was sent to labor and delivery to be monitored for high blood pressure. I was also cramping all night long and when they hooked me up to the monitor i was contracting every 2-3 minutes. I ended up being sent home because my blood pressure went back down but the doctor said i could be in early labor. How can I help the labor progress? Contractions seem to be continuously be slowing down for a period of time and them starting up again. I am also 2.75 centimeters and 85% effaced.
