I've been vomiting a lot and not able to keep water down, feeling very weak. Going to the hospital tomorrow and they might put me on a drip. Is saline ok to take during pregnancy, anyone had it?
Any medical procedure or administration of fluids like saline should only be done under strict medical supervision. Please ask your gynac directly about this. They will know your medical history best.
Saline is a medical intervention, not really something for home remedies or advice. If you are feeling dehydrated, try to drink ORS or coconut water first. But if it's severe or your doctor suggests saline, then you must follow their advice.
Yes, saline is very common. I was given saline both during my C-section and for a day or two after for hydration and to help with medication. It's a standard procedure if your doctor thinks you need it.
Maintaining good hydration is key, especially during pregnancy. But if your body is very depleted or you're severely dehydrated, then medical saline might be necessary. It's a clinical decision, not something related to general fitness or home care. Your gynac will guide you.
Don't worry about it too much. If your doctor suggests saline, it means they see a medical need for it, like dehydration or to administer medication. They are trained professionals and know what is safe and necessary during pregnancy.
Haha, I was given so much saline during labour, I felt like a human IV stand! But seriously, yes, if the doctor thinks you need it for dehydration or something else, they give it. You barely even notice after a point. 😂
Oh, I was actually wondering this because I felt a bit dehydrated last week, and my gynac mentioned it might be needed if it gets worse. Has anyone here actually had saline given to them during pregnancy?
