Is that worth losing your temper over? The midwife sent us home because my wife was only a few cm dilated, and active labour doesn't start until about 5 or 6cm dilation, after which it generally takes another 5+ hours before the cervix is dilated enough (i.e. 10cm) to give birth. It's annoying, but it's standard procedure.

It'd be wonderful if the healthcare systems around the world had infinite resources to care for pregnant women, but unfortunately they don't.

My wife was in labor. For the 45 minutes between when she was discharged and when she returned unable to stand, they billed us for two visits and would not budge.
