Drink water and do your kegels.

Just a friendly reminder from someone who needs it ;)

I found out the pruney fingers I posted about a few days ago are pretty much for sure from dehydration... my OB gave me a calculation: your weight divided by 2.5 is how much water you should be drinking in ounces! I'm struggling drinking 80oz/day for sure!

  • I didn't know about that formula, but good to know! I've been drinking my 60oz plus some most days, I'm happy I've been getting enough in! I usually have 64oz of water and then tea in the morning, a small juice at lunch, and some milk before bed.

  • I am struggling with drinking the right amount of water. I mean, I am already peeing at an alarming and I have have like 60 more oz to go today!! After all of that I feel like I am drowning! Lol

    Wow! I'm surprised the amount of water is so low! Isn't the normal rec amount 64 oz a day? If I went by this calculation, I would only have to drink 50 oz a day. Either way, it's good information and it makes my water goals easier

  • I had always heard you should drink 1/2 your weight in water ... So the recommended 64 oz is really only for an "average" woman weighing around 130 lbs. I have to drink a lot more bc I'm tall and weigh more than that ;)

  • Yeah, I was skeptical of the calculation too, although 80-100 sounds about right for me. Another google search suggested just drinking half your weight, so it's a pretty close example. ::shrug:: iono.
