Another wasted L&D trip 😥

B✨

Last week went in for contractions, started at a 1 went to a 3, then stopped progressing. The past 24 hours I've been in ALOT of pain. Diarrhea, Terrible back pain and period cramps, I can barely walk it hurts so bad. Doesn't go away no matter what I do, Tylenol doesn't help at all. Contractions started coming frequently again this morning, got to every 5 minutes so I went to L&D. Went from a 3 to 3 1/2 in an hour, contractions are now 3 minutes apart, and my dr says she doesn't think I'll go into labor today, and says they won't help me progress it at all (break water) until I'm 39 weeks. The only medication she was willing to give me for pain I'm deathly allergic to. So I just told her to send me home so I could at least be miserable and eat. I'm in so much pain and I'm so confused when I should be going in. If this isn't labor then what the heck is?! Still having contractions every 3 minutes. 😭 the idea of feeling like this every day scares the crap out of me, I could barely walk my daughter into school today.
