I hope I can stop.. @brittany_leigh

mine was 32oz pepsi fountain drinks...i had to have 3 a day. finally stopped that craving and now its orange juice. 24/7.

& even through the Braxton hicks my babygirl is still as active as ever.

I'm just a scared that now it's gonna hurt my babygirl, I could never forgive myself. I always told myself when I got pregnant I would do everything I could to make her healthy and it's so hard for me to drink water? lol I just hate it, I'm like addicted to Dr pepper, and it's gotten worse since I've been pregnant. I'll have to try something bc I don't wanna hurt her. especially with my history of kidney stones.

@wrd2016, im HORRIBLE at drinking water also. i have to force myself to drink it. i use to love water and now i cant stand it. i drink mostly juice here lately since the stopped my starbucks and mcdonalds run. i found if i put a teaspoon of sugar or a splenda packet in my cup it works better for me. or a leamon slice works great too

@brittany_leigh, I'm trying not to stress, it worries me though, I thought BH were normal, & I've been more active today and yesterday than I have in some while. I keep trying to make myself drink water but it doesnt go that well. now I'm beating myself up for it.

@wrd2016, dont stress about it momma. relax and you know your body better then anyone. if you feel somethings off or not what you think is normal never hesitate to call your ob on call nurse.

@brittany_leigh, and no I'm not sure they are BH, bc I've never been pregnant so I don't know what feels like what..

@_akgirl, @brittany_leigh I'm really bad about drinking water, but I'm drinking some now, and laying on my left side, I have had quite a few kidney stones but none in a year or so. they don't hurt though, although my back does.

@wrd2016, are you sure they are BH? are you dehydrated? dehydration can cause contractions. i went into labor with my first son at 29 weeks because i was dehydrated. but dont stress drink you some water and lay on your left side and if you dont feel better or them slow down call your ob just to be on the safe side

it could be preterm labor. i doubt it, but there's a chance. you're likely just dehydrated. if you like fruit, eat more watery fruit. drinks with electrolytes will help you stay hydrated (Gatorade, smart water, coconut water) i always tell my bf it doesn't necessarily mean less of anything else, just more water.

@brittany_leigh, so too many BH can be bad??

drink some water and lay on your left side if they dont stop within a hour or so call your doctor

I'm not even close to having the baby, I'm sure I'm just feeling Braxton hicks, but I'm a ftm and I don't know what they should really feel like.. Im pretty sure I'm not in labor lol I'm not even close to 39 weeks.. and I don't drink as much water as I should :/ I can't stand water! I have to make myself drink it.... @_akgirl

your pee should be pale yellow. my Dr always told me if I had more than 4 in an hour to go in

full term is actually 39w. but have you been drinking enough water?

not really stronger, my whole tummy just gets really tight and it's like pressure but I've been having them all day... @_akgirl

are they getting stronger and closer together?
