The only way you would know those facts are because a doctor told you them. If the doctor didn't tell you to go to L&D, then you don't need to go to L&D unless new symptoms have arisen. When did your doctor tell you to go to L&D? That's the person I would listen to the most.

While I agree with the above poster, it also depends on the situation. If it were me I may go to L&D but that is because I am GBS+ and do not want to risk not having the antibiotics to keep my baby safe, if they send me home oh well. But if I didn't have this issue then I would not go. I am 2cm and fully efaced but no pains and didn't lose any water so here I am.

Before my labor with DD I was 3 cm, 100% effaced and my labor was still 16 hours from first contraction to delivery.

You can be 3 cm for weeks. I believe most hospitals will send you home until you're 5 cm. I would go by contractions. Are they timeable? If they are 5 min apart, lasting for 1 minute and you've had them like this for 1 hour that's when you should go.

I was 3 and 80 for a week an a half before I went into labor. Go when your dr said to as far as timing contractions goes.

that doesn't mean much you can walk around like that for weeks

once you have timable contractions 3-5 minutes apart then go in
