Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
I know I haven't been drinking enough...but now my lips are so severly chapped, cracking, and burning.
Is this REALLY bad? I am so afraid that I'm dehydrating myself and I'll end up in the hospital.
I do drink during the day, I just know it's not enough fluids.

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...not not me!
In my first trimester I had such a hard time keeping anything down and I had the same problem. My Dr. and nutritionist told me to keep track of how much water and fluids I drank and it was no where near what I was supposed to drink. Now I find I can drink enough because of the heat. I would be careful of the heat. Best of luck.

Unless you are having major morning sickness. Drink water. That helps the most. If you don't love water or can't keep it down try Gatorade or Ginger Ale.

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
I have the opposite. I can drink up to about 13 cups of water a day and throw in a glass of milk most days also. I think I may be a camel

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
I drink a lot of fluids during the night, because I get extremely parched, but during the day, I know I'm not drinking enough. So at night, I down 2-3 bottles of water and during the day, I barely drink. I'm trying very hard to drink more during the day, but I'm not doing a good job so far.

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
Water is sooo very important, espeically with the heat. I ended up in labor and delivery this morning, with contractions, decreased fetal movement, and very close to needing IV rehydration. My doc said whatever you drink, double it, 12 glasses perday in this heat. I drink at least 6 glasses per day sometimes more and look, I still needed an emergent "quick" admission for a labor check.

I am glad you are ok!

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
Girl! Ya gotta do it. My ob clinic used to tell me drinking water keeps ya pregnant (as in you won't be prone to PTL due to dehyrdation) and if you plan to breastfeed you'll need to be really hydrated as well so ya better get used to it now!
Luckily our fridge makes crushed ice and water so that helped me out ALOT!

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
I know I don't drink enough and I have yet to end up dehydrated or in the hospital. Just try your best to get things down. In the beginning I did half gatorade half water because plain water just gagged me.

Drink, drink, drink. I know so many woman who wind up in the ER for dehydration and had no clue. Some have even fainted on the street. You don't want to go to the hospital for that!!!

Re: Drinking enoug fluids...no not me!
My SIL literally fainted in her home and her 8 year old had to call 911 because she was dehydrated. You can also go into pre-term labor and risk the baby!
If you have specific questions about whether you are drinking enough you can call your OB and ask about it too.
