In reply to Kelsey Parhomek. Man, that is hard. Gotta remember it's your doctor's choice, not the staff's as to if you stay or go. :(

I was walking around at five centimeters with bulging waters. Wouldn’t admit me at 5 cm with consistent contractions. Even made me walk for TWO hours and checked again – 8 minutes apart and then 7 minutes apart. Sent me home. Barely made it back to the hospital in time. Delivered unassisted within 10 minutes of getting through the front doors. Hold on for your midwife… No thanks, I’ll just do it myself now…

I do believe that the patient should have some say in whether or not they feel safe leaving the hospital when they are IN LABOR. Just because I don’t scream out in pain? Well, it doesn’t seem like you are in very much pain. Ya, well I’m a runner and pain is kind of my thing. Just a little frustrating… For both me and my husband.
