Baby and I took our first flight to New Jersey for work, this past week, and I learned a few things about traveling while pregnant....you need to drink 10 TIMES as much water as you think. Travel got best of me this time. I didn't drink enough fluid and unfortunately, I ended up in the Morristown, NJ ER with dehydration and low blood sugar. A very scary experience, which I was treated quickly with an IV and 6 huge bottles of water. So since then... it's water, water, and more water for me. Daddy is watching out for us and always has water on hand. Time for this mommy to slow down and enjoy a relaxing 3rd trimester!
I had to laugh...my friend that works in L&D at the hospital said today (since it was 95)..."Great! I'm going to go into work today and all these women are going to come in saying they feel miserable and are having terrible contractions. We'll pump them full of fluid and then they'll leave. These ladies need to learn to stay hydrated!"
ReplyDeleteJust reminded me of your story and made me smile. You're obviously not the only one that has had this happen! But, so glad you and the little man are healthy and great...and staying hydrated=)
