Preterm Labor and Stupid Doctors

So Saturday I felt like I was having contractions all day. Didn't really think anything of it just went about my day. About 5 that night they started getting consistant. So I thought I would start timing them. My last doctors appointment he said if they go on for an hour with them being just 10 min apart then I need to go in. But I didn't want to be sent home either so I waited 4 hours. I called the doctor on call and the hospital to get there oppinions to see if they thought i should come in. That was about 10. After I got off the phone with them they started getting worse. So I had called my mom to come out and stay with the kids. Jeremy got ready and I finished packing the bag thinking we wouldn't be coming home without Truman. We got in there shortly before midnight. They got me hooked up and told me that they would check me in a hour to see if I had done anything. Well it was a little more then a hour and I had dilated to a 2. The nurse never said that she would have me stay that we could wait a little longer. So about 4 she checked me again and said that I hadn't done anything else and that we could wait until 6 and she would call my doctor. So we decided to stay. The contractions at this point were 3 minutes apart and very painful. So at 6 she came back in and said we think that you are in labor but the doctor wants you to go home and have breakfast with your family and then come back later if the contractions are the same. At this point I was at a 3. I went home with contractions being less then 5 minutes apart. I was so angry. What do I have to do to stay, have my water break. I did exactly what the doctor had to me to do. So needless to say I am still pregnant and my doctor is going to get a mouth full on Wednesday when I go in for my appointment.
Sorry I am complaining so much. I am just sick of hospitals and Doctors who we pay so much to just not seem to care.
