That totally sucks!
Poor Jess!
Nice acronym, Mom!

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
They sent her home? I am bewildered and thinking about being outraged but keeping it tamped down until I have the facts.
I'm assuming she hasn't hit active labor yet -- they can't send you home at that point. Still, she must be exhausted already, and having to trudge home ... Blah. As JZ said, stoopid hospital.

Trust my rage
Did she ever say where she was at or what made them decide to leave? Getting sent home from the hospital was my nightmare (well, not really, but I worried about it a lot) situation.

Poor thing!

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Jess is being induced, and therefore went to the hospital without yet being in labor. If there were no beds available to start an induction, it makes sense that she was sent home to try again later. Which I hope is soon!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, poor Jess. I hope everything goes smoothly from here on! Yikes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That makes sense, Jen, or at least matches the script I remember from several other friends who ended up in the same spot -- thanks for the expert viewpoint.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, well, I'm keeping my outrage banked in case I need it later.
Mostly I'm just ready to greet the new baby and not wanting any more thwarting. Baby!

Our wings are not tired.
I don't remember if Jess was being induced. She surely is due about now though. Her picture a couple days ago was 40 weeks. [link]
My first one they sent me home because I wasn't ready yet. That one was all natural because I have the big needle fear. Took about 16 hours.
Bobby another story.
I arrived in the baby triage area about 7am and they wouldn't really do anything until my doctor got there. Within an hour I was begging for something. I even let them set an IV (horror for me), but they wouldn't give me anything or move me until the doctor arrived. She arrived around 9am, took one look and yelled PUSH! She was a real drill sergeant. No time for drugs, no time to move out of the tiny area. Bobby arrrived about 2-1/2 hours after the first twinge. Man did that hurt.
