How are you at a station +4 but not more dilated? Station +5 is crowning. Here's a picture of stationing https://doctorstock.photoshelter.com/image/I0000Bcqoe7g9Yqs

Oh I've seen the pictures, I have google too. All of our bodies are different is all. That's where I'm at though, I was just at labor and delivery at 6pm today and was checked.

The link you provided is different from what the doctor has explained and the packets she has provided for me.

The link I gave you is what all medical professionals go by though. Your doctor must have meant something else or you misunderstood them somehow because when you're anything +3 you can really feel the urge to push.

Not mention the unmistakable feeling of the baby coming down... This picture shows that station 4+ is outside the body. I'm guessing you are actually at 4-

This.

They would have admitted you

Agree with PPs that you wouldn't be walking around at +4.  -4 is much more likely.  I did walk around at a 0 station 3cm dilated for a week though.  That was very, very uncomfortable!
