Drink your water!!!

baxterdreamer · May 2014

This is one of those posts to remind us why drinking water is so important.

I woke up yesterday with brown discharge/spotting that happened through the morning. I called on-call doc immediately. Was told to rest, push fluids and call back if I noticed any contractions. I followed directions but that afternoon I realized I was having some contractions. Fast forward, I ended up in L&D and they found out I was having regular contractions!!! I had no idea. We stayed for observation and IV fluids. Baby Hayden was totally fine. The fluids (even though they decided I was NOT dehydrated) ended my contractions.

So what I'm saying is...even when we think we are getting enough fluids we still may not be!! I'm making a commitment to myself to drink 70-80 ounces daily. What's your goal?

128 ounces minimum. (One gallon). Preferably 2, with the HOT summer months coming up.

I get about 96 oz per day...probably more now that's it's getting hot out.

I aim for 100 oz but I think I get more most days.

I am for about 150 oz a day.

I was told 100 oz, but I aim for 125.

Now I'm thinking I want to up to 100!

100 oz of straight water for sure. I try to also drink some flavored water or other liquids too!

I aim for 100 oz of plain water. If I drink any tea or soda that day, I try to drink more, since both of those are diuretics.

I love this post and the Kegel post. Every time I bump I'm reminded to squeeze my crotch while I drink some water.

I try and drink 112 every day. I have a 56 oz water bottle that I fill up twice a day. Water water all the time!

Not even allowed to have water with me (in case it spills...I don't understand it...it is just water) and the odds of making it to the water fountain are slim to none with 21 kids. So I try to be a camel before and after work.
