Hang in there baby!

I went into the hospital last night for decreased fetal movements and pain. It seems like my BH contractions are coming every 10-15 minutes on the monitor and baby is doing fine in there and after a speculum being inserted again the midwives have decided I'm probably in early labor which could go on for days/weeks (I'm 2cm dilated and 50% effaced

A bed shortage means that you're not going to get high quality care no matter how high risk you are. Most midwives will tell you to stay home as long as possible , simply because midwives understand that women labor more comfortably and more effectively at home. Stay home and enjoy your shower if you can. Basically your midwife is probably worried that they're going to force you into a bed because you're high risk, and then not have the staff to take care of you properly. Is there another hospital available? I know it's late to change, but if the bed shortage is that bad, I would worry about care quality and the possibility of illness spreading.

Hopefully everything will go well, try (I know that's not easy) to relax and just go with the flow... baby girl will come as she was meant to
