Contractions due to dehydration

Chelsea

Well I’m 37 and 2 and just got back from the hospital because my midwife and doula said my contractions were so close together and this could be labour. They started an IV with fluids and things calmed down which is good cuz I think baby needs more time to cook but also I’m just so done being pregnant. I was on Urso for potential cholestasis and they think it was causing diarrhea and dehydration so told me to stop taking it now and just rest and try and get some electrolytes in me. The contractions were super close together but also super long like 2-3 minutes at a time so they were a little concerned about that too… just hoping I can avoid an induction as last time it didn’t work and ended in a c section
