I need your advice. Long story short - I have been experiencing contractions for over a week now. The past day and a half, they have become excruciating, to the point where I am screaming through some of them. But they are not frequent enough to go into the hospital. I didn't sleep 2 night ago and called my OB first thing when they opened, told them my situation and hoped they would say hospital. No. She had me come into the office then (early for my scheduled 11:45 spot) to check me. I was/am at a 3, and was not quite a 2 last week, but she said she couldn't send me to the hospital because my contractions were still too far apart (avg 8-9 min).
So I went home and cried and had super insane contractions all day and again throughout the night. Like, I can't stress enough how painful they are. I'm not just casually contracting. I can't do anything else because I'm in so much pain. And it's now in my back too. I literally am laboring through contractions at home as if I were at the hospital about to push out a kid. I called my mom and begged her to drive down last night around 8:00. So she is here if I need to suddenly go. But seriously, it's been almost 48 hours of nonstop, painful contractions that refuse to come closer together. I'm running on maybe 1.5 hrs of sleep over the past 2 nights and my body is physically exhausted. I am so tempted to call and lie and say they are 5 min apart just so I can go to the hospital so they can witness how strong these contractions are (vs the mild unmonitored one I had at the OB yesterday) and I want to see if I'm any more dilated. DD watched me literally scream and cry all day yesterday. Even if they won't admit me, it would be nice to walk around the hospital with DH and not have to worry about DD since my mom is here.
What do you think I should do?
Oh and I lost my mucous plug in the middle of the night. I know that doesn't mean much but I really really was hoping that would do something to help me get into the hospital.
ETA I really believe I'm going through prodromal labor, except my contractions won't stop. They aren't as frequent as others, but they are super painful and slowly making progress over days but most prodromal contractions stop and start, vs mine just continuing.
