well i have a question. i am 34 weeks pregnant and i have been drinking one gallon of water a day. i dont know if this is normal or not but i just cant stop drinking water. i also drink two glasses of milk and a cup of juice as well. if you could give me some insight onthis situation i would appreciate it alot\ thanx FF
If your thirst is INSATIABLE, maybe talk to your doc about the possibility of gestational diabetes. I know you said you'd been without care for a few months. Did you miss your glucose test? Other than that, a gallon of water for a preggo woman seem totally fine, almost perfect, to me! Drink up!
yeah i did miss a few dr apts but i finally got into the drs two wks ago got the glucose test and everything came back fine. Its not that i cant quench my thirst its more of a craving if anything. Also another issue. my hubby left for L.A. yesterday and well i noticed that i couldnt sleep worth a damn last night. usually i can get a few hours in (5 or 6 hrs) but last night was horrible. i was just having major anxiety i guess. dont know what i can do to help myself sleep better. Also lastnight noticed as well that i just could not get comfortable no matter what i did. i would switch sides, put a pillow between my legs, cover up uncover , the whole bit and nothing helped. I am sooooooooo tired and cant sleep cuz theres no one to watch aiden. any suggestions or help would be appreciated
about the water: I would say it's actually a very good thing I wish I could down that much water in a day! about the sleep: I don't have too much to tell you sorry..I remember how hard it was to sleep in those last few weeks of Leane's pregnancy. Is there any way that adien can lie down with you to have a nap? That's what Leane and i have been doing lately since I'm so pooped right now. I just can't seem to sleep enough. So when she goes down for a nap, we both have a nice long sleep together.
kai napping with me when i was pregnant was one of the only highlights of my last pregnancy. if she didn't want to nap, i got her all her toys, brought them in the bedroom, put on a movie she loved and dozed while she safely played.
i usually nap with aiden in the late afternoon I have done the nap while he watche d his movie and well he is the type to wonder when he knows im not watching him. oh well i will just have to deal with the exhaustion.
if you want to drink that much thats fine but make sure that that after about 2 liters you drink water that has electro lites in it. Especially now that it is getter warmer.
A gallon of water per day is fine, if not wonderful! I was toxic with #1 and it was the only thing that kept me out of the hospital. I say drink on! Just be sure you're getting enough to eat!
Yea... when I was pregnant I was wanted water all the time and I had one of the easiest pregnancys, so it wasn't because of complications or anything. I just had a craving for water. I hated pops and junk food and stuff like that also.. it was kinda strange, but because of it i lost like 30 pounds.
