Gatorade! What took me so long??

Question

Why did no one tell me to drink Gatorade while I’m pregnant??  I had some when I woke up this morning and I can’t BELIEVE how good I feel!  
Anemia aside, I have so much better energy at 36 weeks than I’ve had in months.  I drink copious amounts of water, two-plus gallons a day, but the electrolytes are a game changer.
Drink some!  Immediately!

Answer

The nurse told me to drink some every so often when I went in at 34 weeks for contractions. They thought my contractions were bc I was dehydrated, but my tests all came back normal. She said sometimes you just need electrolytes and water doesn’t have that. It’s nice to have something with taste too lol.
