Yesterday I started having period-like cramps, had them last night and still this morning. I called my doctor and the nurse told me to just drink water and I could take Tylenol every 4-6 hours. Anyone else have this cramping? It's freaking me out!!

What did you/ will you drink while in labour? It seems like the most recommended drink is Gatorade, but I find it very unappealing. Throughout this pregnancy pretty much my only beverages have been sparkling water (regular water makes me nauseous more often than not), decaf tea (I only like it hot, and it doesn't really quench my thirst, it's ( Read more... )

I'm in the hospital because of dilation, spotting, and regular contractions. They had me on saline via IV and they took me off of it this morning. Now, my eyes feel dry and my face is hot no matter how much water I drink. Is this normal?

I've had a couple of pretty bad leg cramps (in my calves) the last few mornings. My husband says its because I'm not drinking enough and need more electrolytes. He's prolly right. I really don't drink very much throughout the day, I just don't think about it. So ( Read more... )

They gave me saline IV and antibiotic IV as well as a 2 week regimen of Microbid to take home, as well as a shot to stop the contractions...when I ( Read more... )

I posted just a bit ago about how my 38week check up went a little crappier than usual with higher BP and a significant drop in amniotic fluid levels. Well in 2 days I was able to raise my fluid 2 points higher than it was (went from 7 to 9) just by drinking like a fish and eating watermelon! I went in to labor and delivery today to make sure ( Read more... )
