What are my options?
Sorry for being a pest here, this will be my 3rd post in 24hrs 🤦🏾♀️ but I need advice!
So at 3:30am this morning I experienced bleeding, called L&D and was told to come in for monitoring. Before arriving my cervix was 1 1/2cm
5am I had a cervix check and was dilated to 2cm
9am I had another check and was 3cm
11am, still 3cm but contractions were increasing in pain about 4 minutes apart each time.. HOWEVER, I have a high pain tolerance. Instead of giving into each contraction I choose to relax & breathe through them, because of this the Dr. said I must not be in active labor
2pm, still 3cm, still having intense contractions but not reacting dramatically so I’m sent home
**Although I’m making SOME progress on my own, apparently I’m not up to the hospitals standards so they will not give me anything to help with pain or induction, being that I’m 38 weeks & 5days.. literally 2, almost 1 day away from their mark of starting inductions which is 39weeks**
Now I’m home and contracting every 3minutes, painful enough that I woke up from my nap. I can’t concentrate, or move during them. The bleeding due to “cervical change” has begun again. Not enough to fill a pad, but it’s the same bright red that caused me go from 1 1/2cm to 3cm... so what the hell could I, or should I do?!!
I honestly feel like I’m in active labor, but under the hospitals orders I shouldn’t return unless my waters go 😐 do I stick this pain out 2 more days until I’m “far” enough for induction or is there something else I can do!? By something else I mean stop being a tough guy and act dramatic when I get contractions so they can see how much physical pain I’m in.
