My labour started this morning at 4am, we left for the hospital at 7am. Contractions were about 5-7 minutes apart and extremely painful!!  I also had a lot of bloody show.  We get to the hospital and I'm checked and am 3-4cm's dialated. The nurse put me on the monitor and it was picking up my contractions for a while at 6-7 mins apart.  However, after a couple hours I had no cervical change so the decision was to send me home and see if it gets more intense.  After 6 hours of painful contractions they peter out :(  We live 65km's from the hospital so I guess it was better safe than sorry... I don't want this baby coming at home!
