PSA: Drink your water!!

Hey ladies- just wanted to put this out there...I spent last night in L&D on IV fluid because I started to contract. Everything is ok with me and the baby and I'm home now- but I was in so much pain last night.

They think it was a combo of over doing it and being dehydrated.

So fill up those water bottles ladies :-)

    Yes - that is extremely dangerous - be careful!

    Take it easy in the heat and drink up!

    Not the nicest of stories, but right after I found out I was preg in July, I hadn't told anyone, but the big news story was that a pregnant lady died at a Boston Red Sox game because she was dehydrated/overheated.  People talked about it so much (at my job), I definitely always remember that story :(

    Glad to hear all is well now! I was having really bad contrx and went in for Evan and thru sent me home for dehydration. I could not believe how painful it was!!!! But then I ended up going back the following day for the real thing...so I sort of think the dehydration started my labor since it never stopped- it was 5 days before my due date. I dunno.

    Glad you are okay!

    AND, it helps prevent kidney stones.  While they say they are not more prevalent during pregnancy, I randomly had one during each pregnancy and it was WICKED.  I know I am supposed to drink a ton of water and lemons, but I need reminders.
