Drink up!

I am sure that most of you are better than me at drinking lots and staying hydrated. But i wanted to remind you all how easy it is to forget and suffer the consequences.

So drink up, whatever your fancy- carbonated or not and stay hydrated. It is going to be a long hot july waiting for babies and we dont want to end up in hospital for iv fluids!!

Re: Drink up!

  • I'll second this, especially as we get closer to delivery. I don't think I drank enough right before labor and didn't get fluids during a 19 hour labor plus had a hard time getting much to drink after giving birth and I think that was one reason why it took my milk three days to come in, which was hard, and I struggled with making enough supply to feed a 9+ pound hungry baby.

    This time around I'm drinking more water and will be sure to drink more before going to the hospital. And i'm bringing my own waterbottle because that straw in a pink cup deal was kind of a turn-off to drinking.
