I'm worried about dehydration.

Since Sunday I've had a bad stomach virus with constant constipation and I've also thrown up a few times. (Sorry if TMI.) On top of it all, I've had a horrible sinus congestion too!

I'm trying to drink enough water but I'm paranoid about dehydration because I know it can be bad while pregnant. I just feel so weak.

 Anyone know what the symptoms of dehydration are or how to tell if you are dehydrated?

    One quick check is to pinch the skin on the top of your hand, and if it doesn't go down quickly that would indicate you are dehydrated.

    Are you peeing a normal amount?  Is it concentrated or clear?  I have had issues with dehydration and even though I was peeing frequently my urine was still really dark.

    With my last pregnancy I was told to drink predialyte  or gatorade when I was sick. the electrolites in both with help prevent dehydration. Word of advice, get the flavored pedialyte cuz the non flavored stuff sucks.

    I always worry about dehydration so I am always checking the color of my urine.
