Bobbi got sent home!

She is in labor but the contractions are not consistent and there has been no change in her cervix in the 3 hours she was there.

She's tired and very uncomfortable and very disappointed.

What I dont understand is why wouldnt they start the pitocin to get her in a good labor pattern especially they were planning on inducing her on Friday.  Of course she had an on-call OB from a different office since hers is off today.  We all feel they kinda blew her off and pushed her out the door.

Blech!

I had the same thing happen when I was pregnant with Christopher.  Pitocin is risky though - I can totally see why they'd want to give her an extra day and see if she can do it by herself.  Best of luck to her.

Yeah, it's definetly safer to let her body attempt to do it on its' own.  I know it's sucky for her and I'm sure she's exhausted and ready to meet her little girl.  But after working in L&D as a RN, I'd definetly give my body every chance I could to do it on its own as opposed to taking the Pit just because I was already at the hospital. 

If her cervix isn't changing on its' own in 3 hours there's a possibility the Pit wouldn't help that happen either!

 You'll be a grandma before you know it though!  Good luck to her!

Go buy her some evening primrose oil and have her apply it to her cervix. Seriously.

That happened to me, and 24 hours later my water broke and DD was born 12 hours after my water broke!
