some advice needed

[ashleypauline]

past couple of days i've been having really bad contractions. they've put me on the monitors and yesterday i was getting them 2-3 minutes apart and they were pretty strong. I am dilated a fingertip and about 50% effaced my dr says. I was sent to the hospital where they did a cervical length and because my cervix is still over 3 they said there is nothing more they can do for me they gave me procardia but it doesnt do anything for me! they are telling me i am in prodromal labor. last night i started getting sharp cervical pains which i googled and they said it can be correlated with dilating and effacing more. and now this morning, these contractions are accompanied with strong period cramps and pressure. what should i do?! i am sick of running to the dr, being told to go to the hospital and then being sent home in the same condition

Go back. You are so early that it doesn't matter how many trips to the hospital it takes or how many times you get sent home, if you think you could be dilating you need to do what is safest for your baby.

I agree with previous poster. Go back to the hospital!

they are still going, no matter how much i've rested today. and they are still very close together 2-3mins apart

Go to the hospital please. Staying at home is not worth the risk to your child.

i have to call my midwife now anyway, i think i might be leaking fluid

I'd definately go in! I went dilated from a 5-10 in only 10 min !!! It can take forever to get to a 5 , after a 5 u can go super fast .... To me that's pretty scary to still be at home ....
