40+3 intense contractions 3 minutes apart and bleeding, sent home from l&d

I posted on here earlier today, but for the last 6 hours I’ve had pretty intense contractions that are around 3-4 minutes apart. I went to labor and delivery and I was sent home due to not being dilated enough. I’m in extreme pain and idk what I’m supposed to do. They just said come back if it gets worse, it’s already bad and i can’t think or walk or talk through the pain. And kept saying I was in very early labor.

I’ve also had bleeding and spotting since the contractions began. Sorry for the TMI picture

As long as they’re not concerned with the bleeding, it’s probably (hopefully) just from your cervix making changes. I started early labor with strong hip and back contractions at 40 weeks, but got stuck there and didn’t deliver him until 40+5. I was bleeding intermittently the whole time (bloody show with mucus), typically in the morning. I went into L&D two nights in a row because of the pain and fortunately, I had made some progress the second night so they admitted me for an epidural and labor augmentation. Hopefully you start dilating soon!
