Sent Home From Hospital At 5cm Dilated?!!???

Question

My sister is 36 weeks and 3 days and has back pain, and vaginal pain, she was sent home from the hospital at 5cm dilated last night. And has been having a bloody mucus since last night. Anybody have any tips of how she can help to further dilate or get her water to break?? The pain is bearable but shes really uncomfortable and the hospital wont keep her.
UPDATE:
Shes 6cm dilated and at the hospital again. Bouncing, walking, dancing. Nothing yet. I'll keep you all posted tha k you

Answer

Walk or bounce on a ball.. she’ll get there soon it sounds like

Answer

Is she contracting? Some women dilate alot and stay that way for a bit before actually starting to labor

Answer

6 cm is considered active labor unless contractions are a consistent 5 min or less apart! . She should go walking and do squats . Try to stay active that might help!

Answer

Unless she's having regular contractions, the hospital won't take her. I'd second bouncing on a birthing ball, walking regularly, light exercise (several videos are out there of women actually dancing during labor to keep things moving,) any kind of movement to help baby settle further in her pelvis.

Answer

Walk. Exercise ball. Dance
