35 WEEKS AND CONTRACTING.

Im 35 weeks preg. I had been having bad contractions all day long. With VERY bad and painful pressure. I went to labor and delivery and hooked me up to monitors. I was having contractions. They checked me and said I was 1 1/2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. They told me I was just "dehydrated" gave me a bag of fluids and sent me home. I'm still having all the same symptoms but my lower back and the pelvic pressure are a lot more intense. I also had my first child at 36 weeks. Could I still be in labor even though they said I was only dehydraded ? What do I do (besides Drink a lot of water)lol

Yes you can. I was told I just had an irritated uterus and to take a warm bath. A few hours later I gave birth to my son. This was with my second pregnancy

Go back in if you're in a lot of pain and tell them the fluids aren't working
