When will they admit you

I've been having sporadic contractions all day and up until an hour ago they haven't been at a regular frequency. Now they are about 8minutes apart but I can still function through them. My OB said to head in if or when they reach 6 minute intervals. However im just curious if labor stalls and I'm already at the hospital will they let me leave or will they keep me there? I was dilated to about a 4.5 at my last appointment and almost fully effaced.

What exactly do the doctors and nurses use as a gauge to decide whether or not to admit you or let you leave?

    I'm sure that they will keep you!

    How long are the contractions?

    With DD, I was able to leave my obs office at 4.5 fully effaced. A few days later, at almost 6, no contractions, it was strongly recommended I not leave the hospital.

    They say at a 4 you're technically in complete labor. And if your contractions are consistently 8 mins apart... IDK. They'd probably keep you, especially if your due date is near or over.

    When I went in they checked me (4cm) and told me to walk for 2 hours and then checked me again. I had made progress and got to 6cm so they kept me. If I had stayed at a 4 they would have sent me home.

    I think it depends on how far along you are when your labor stalls.  My cousin's labor stalled out with her first son when she was dialated only to 3 cm, and they sent her back home  (I'm not sure she was fully admitted though or just there for observation).  My labor stalled out with DD#1 at 5cm but they had already ruptured my waters trying to keep me in labor.

    I would ask your OB what the requirements for admittion are, they have to have some sort of set standards or something!

    Good Luck!
