Mom, good evening Fourth day of pain, intermittently like contractions I came for an appointment, they sent me to the maternity ward, here they said there's dilation (they didn't say how much), but the cervix is not smoothed out, we decided to lay down Magnesium was applied, no progress at all, only when I walk, it pulls a bit and that's all It's unlikely I'll be let home, although I live two minutes from here Has anyone had something similar? How long did normal contractions start?
