I am in my 40th week of pregnancy. Last week at my prenatal visit .. the doctor told me the baby was still floating(not in the birthing position).
Well this sunday I started to have mild contrations around 1pm and they kept coming longer and well about 5-7 minutes apart, at around 10 pm they starting to be stronger.. I was feeling thing in my lower back as well... so I decided to go to the hospital. The nurse checked me and she told me that I was definitly in early labour and that I was starting to dilate at one. She sent me home... well the contractions kept coming during all through the night strong enough for me to rock them away. In the morning they had were still coming.. so decided to go check out again at the hospital. Well the nurse checked me out and started to moniter me... to my surprise they started to die down.. they were around 10 to 15 minutes apart and not as strong...and well unconsistant. So they check me I was still dilated the same as the night before.. 1cm..and the baby is still very high! So they sent me home. Since then...I almost dont have contractions... 1 every hour or so..
Is this normal????? I am worried my baby is not going to come down and I wont dilate more... Is there something I should do???
I have tried the castor oil and it did do anything....I've been going for walks...
I have a prenatal visit with my doctor on thursday...
Please help me..
Thank you
