Oh god, between vomiting in first trimester and peeing every 5 minutes now, my body is basically a leaky pipe! No wonder we get dehydrated. I live on chaas and water bottles now just to survive.
My tracker app showed that our blood volume increases by 50% during pregnancy, which is why we dry out so fast. Also vomiting in first trimester doesn't help. Track your daily intake, aim for at least 2-3 liters.
It is incredibly stressful when you can't keep water down and worry about dehydration, I totally feel you. Usually morning sickness and sweating cause it. Please don't stress, but if you can't retain any liquids, definitely check with your gynac for IV fluids.
It's usually due to vomiting or just forgetting to drink enough water while busy with chores. I used to keep filled bottles in every room so I don't have to run to the kitchen. Adding a pinch of salt and sugar in water helps a lot.
I used to worry that even a little dry mouth would harm the baby! Actually, normal vomiting and hormone changes cause it, but what if it gets too low? Please keep tracking your urine color and if it's dark or if you feel dizzy, pls call your doc immediately!
Here my saas is always behind me with coconut water and nimbu paani because of the constant vomiting. Morning sickness is the main culprit, makes you lose everything. Listen to the elders and keep drinking small amounts of fluids.
Mostly it's because our body needs so much more water now for the baby and amniotic fluid. Morning sickness also makes you lose fluids. Just keep sipping water slowly throughout the day, you'll do great!
