  • Hiya, Hows things feeling now?
    I'm gatecrashing from toddler hope you don't mind!!
    YES it happened to me with my first and like you went to hospital etc only to be told I wasn't in labour and to go home as I was only 37weeks exactly......................I gave birth to my son 6 hrs later!!!!!!!!! The midwife that sent me home was very suprised to say the least when she came on shift saw me the next day bathing him!!!!!!!!
    Don't worry things will progress when they want to, If you are atall worried just march right back to the hospital or give your midwife a ring and ask for another check, they can't say no they have to check when you feel you need to be. How do they know what your body is feeling/telling you???
    I must admit I was very disheartend when they did it to me so much so that I went on and had two home births because I refused to go into hospital again!!!!(thats just me though....hot headed lol)
    As I said if you feel the need to be checked/monitored just go.
    Good luck babe
