drink it!!!!!

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
Omg last night I spent 4 hrs in l&d in horrible pain. I thought for sure i was in pre term labor. However i was dehydrated... I am not a big water drinker and i i spent the day outside in the sun with my daughter by 6 pm last night i started having contractions and they were horrible. trying to take care of my 2 year old while dealing with this was terrible. When i finally was able to go to the hospital we figured out what was wrong quickly and started to hydrate me. I will never do this to myself again. I had no idea that not drinking enough water could cause this to happen. So even if you hate water drink it or you could end up in the god awful pain like i was in!!!

  • That happen to me with my first baby. Never made that mistake again. They gave me a gallon of water and made me drink it right there and then. Didn't need IV. Which I would have preferred.
  • That happened to me too at like 30 weeks or around that time and my midwife told me I should be drinking like 12 glasses of water a day! That's way to much for me because I would puke if I drank that much, so I just drink as much as possible without making me sick, being 38 weeks I just find myself thirsty all the time now so drinking enough is not a problem anymore...just drink as much as you can
  • I love water!
  • I love bottled water especially @ room temperature.... Since I've been pregnant I only drink tap water. I've been n my house 6 years n. Never drank the water but I looove it now. Lol
  • If you cant drink plain water try a product called Mio. Also try Propel Zero flavored water.
  • i had no idea what i was doing to myself. I was sitting on the toilet crying in pain i thought i was in labor for real. I drank three big cups of water at the hospital and felt good. Now my tummy feels sore from the contractions.. Thankfully ill survive :)
