That's what I thought, Lolly.
However, a couple of weeks ago someone I know through work went to Burnley hospital with pains. She was pregnant with her first child and was a bit unsure what to do so she got her boyfriend to take her to hospital.
The pains were infrequent and mild so they sent her home.....nothing unsurprising there.
What did surprise me was the next day her waters broke and she went back to hospital but they sent her home again as they said she wasn't dilated enough.
I couldn't understand this as I'm sure when I had my children they kept you in once your waters had gone due to risk of infection.....this is obviously not the case any more.
Maybe if Lettie sees this thread she could explain for us.
