how much water/juice intake?

Question

How much water/juice should us pregnant women be consuming? I went to L&D yesterday with consistent contractions 4-5 minutes apart. The nurses at L&D told me I wasn't in labor since my cervix hadn't changed in an hour and that the contractions were from dehydration. They also told me not to come back until my water breaks.

My contractions haven't stopped, even after doing everything they said: walking, heat packs, hot bath & shower, and increasing fluid intake.

So my question is how much should I be drinking? I've had 84 ounces of a combo of water and juice and my contractions haven't stopped today.

Answer

I usually drink about 70-100 oz of water daily, and also other drinks like juice that I don't really keep track of. My doctor has always said the amount of amniotic fluid I have looks great. And my pee is never orange or dark yellow like I'm dehydrated- it's always pretty light and clear yellow. Idk how some people drink more than a gallon a day, that's so much!!

Answer

You shld be drinking Anywhere from 4-6 liters of water a day.A small amount of dehydration can cause contractions.drink water not juice

Answer

I drink 2 gallons of water daily, plus a glass of OJ in the morning and whatever else I have with dinner. My midwife said to drink a gallon of water by 12pm. If contractions don't stop by tomorrow call your doctor in the am to find out what to do. They might want to put you on an IV drip to bring your fluid lvl back up.

Answer

My midwife said 3 liters a day 😞
