im 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant. i have lost my mucus plug been contracting every 4 minutes and dilated to 2 cm and 60 % effaced and they stop my labor and send me home with medicine to stop my labor. now my baby is turned feet first and i might have to get a c section, but when i first went in before they stopped my labor he was head first. so now they messed up my delivery. why do they do that? ↓

I am not sure why they would do that. My doctor always told me after 36 weeks, when you go in labor they let you have it. The only thing he said that I couldn't bee taken off of work until I was 37 weeks. I would call my doctor and demand I know why they did that. But your baby might still turn again or maybe they will turn the baby for you. ↑
