We had a scare last night....

Yep, sounds like me and the soda lately. I get free drinks at work(and french fries when I steal them from the cooks! and sometimes little ramekins of pickles! YUM!) so it's hard to drink water when soda is free and I dont' buy it for the house. BUT I started on Sunday drinking my water with LOTS of ice(I like to crunch it) and 2-3 lemon wedges in each glass and it's totally tolerable. Either that or I add a splash of lemonade to it. And it's SO good! I was shocked! I dehyrated several times due to vomitting with Lulu and went into ptl at 24, 27, 29, and 32weeks. It was no fun! Definitely up that water intake and keep little man in there a bit longer.

I go to the kitchen a lot and stare into the fridge thinking that something good will just appear, so i end up getting a lot! Hope you feel better! Danni

Thanks! I knew it was something like that....(diuretic) I remember the nurse telling us that when I had to be hospitalized with dd but couldn't remember for sure. I thought all the peeing was good

Thats a great idea about the small glass of water! Thanx
