38 week fake out

It happened to me. What I thought would be the most embarassing thing ever. Yes, I had to take the walk of shame Monday night. I was the girl who THOUGHT she was in labor. I started having contractions monday evening. They were coming about every 5 min. When they got to every 2-3 min and really hurting we went in to the hospital. I was still a 3 when i got there. They monitered me for an hour. During that hour the contractions were really hurting and coming every 2-5 min. When she checked me after the hour I was like a 3+ (whatever that means) and she said she could tell I was changing but not fast enough. She called my dr and he said I could stay one more hour. Unfortunately that second hour they started really slowing down in frequency and intensity. I knew they were going to send me home. I used to think that this would be very embarassing. But at 10:30pm my bed, two children and a good night's rest were sounding really good to me. I wasn't at all dissapointed to be sent home to go to bed with only two children in my care. That feeling lasted a couple days. Now I'm ready to have her out of me again.
