Update.
They sent me home despite the fact that my contractions are 4 minutes apart and between 1 and 2 minutes long. I haven't dilated more. So they said they are expecting me back in in a few hours. Which makes no sense to me and is causing me to be incredibly frustrated.
right but if you stay there labor slows down because you're out of your comfort zone and then a few hours could turn into 12 or more because you're not dilating more
