I am back home from my mini vacation. I feel so silly having to go to the hospital due to not taking care of my water intake. Thanks to all my friends on here I am sorry if i scared anyone. I am not having my girl yet but I will be getting watched closely. I am having the contractions again but they are doing nothing at this time to dialate me so we may still have awhile. I go to the doctor tomarrow to get checked again and will let you all know if anything changes. Again thanks for the love and prayers.

I am just glad to hear that you and Savannah are doing well. The first thing that come to mind was when you posted a while back about cramps and I was worried for both of you. I am glad it was nothing that turned serious. Keep that water bottle close at hand at all times. Let us know how the doctor's appointment goes tomorrow.
Never feel silly about having to go to the hospital for anything, if you had not gone it might have cost you very dearly.
Take care.

I'm glad to hear you are doing better. It is so important to get plenty of water in your system. You have an increased supply of blood coursing through your body and you are carrying out waste from your baby. You need to stay hydrated. You know you are urinating frequently so you have to replenish. Take it from me I had 4 children, you need to keep drinking. I know it sucks because you keep going to the bathroom, but you have to. Otherwise they will have to put you on an I.V. and those suck! I am sure they probably did that you now anyways.
Anyways, take care and I wish nothing but the best for you and your little baby.
Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Yeah she may come early but the fear now is will we actually know when the contractions start actually doing something the doc will have to watch closely i guess.

Glad to hear youre ok.
Is that a Raccoon in your profile pic? I had a male Raccoon when I was a kid. His name was Loo. I let him loose in the Trinity forest when he grew up. He was a great companion.
I also saw your Autism site. My son Dan, 30, has Smith Lemli Opitz Syndrome.
Take care,

I think we're just all glad you're okay. Don't feel bad. If it were me I would be in the same situation. I have been trying to force myself to drink more water cause I never have. I do okay for a day or two then I forget again. It really helps our bodies though to drink plenty of water. I can notice the difference in my skin right away.

Oh glad to hear that you are doing well now and hope you enjoyed you trip up north and yes if you have to drink alot more water that will mean alot more peeing and boy do you pee enough when you are pregnant without having to drink more! and it does start to feel like you are living in the toilet doesnt it ... hahaha
Anyway exciting time and hope all goes well.

Thanks so much for the update. It's nice to know that you are OK, and I hope that the baby will be OK too. I have never had to worry about my water intake. I drink large amounts of water. I pee a lot, but atleast I don't get dehydrated. I sure wish that more water would stay inside me instead of getting peed out. I'd probably drink just as much though. I love water!

Hey minnie. I'm so glad that you are back. I was scared when I first read Grandpa Bob's discussion about you being in the hospital. But I am glad that you and the baby are safe. You should not feel silly at all because you are pregnant and you need to protect that little baby inside you. I hope everything goes well tomorrow in the hospital. Take care.

Hi Minnie,
I'm so sorry to hear about your pregnancy complications. Being a new friend I'm in the dark. Just a couple questions. How far along, is she your first, And any other complications? I really wish you the best. It's amazing how not enough water can really put a wrench into things. When I was first married at 20, I had chronic bladder infections because I didn't drink enough water. That was my wakeup call. You hang in there sweetie and I'll throw in a few prayers too.

Im at 35 weeks and no this is my third actually. Havent had any complications up untill now and my other two there were no issues either but this one is with a different dad and has been way different then my other two pregnancies.
Yeah its crazy how many thing in your body can be effected by just too little water. Thanks for the prayers they can always be used.
