I'm terrible at hydrating and called my doctor yesterday over some side pain I was having. Nurse told me to go to labor and delivery and I thought she was crazy and being exaggerated. The pain wasn't terrible but I ended up going bc now I was worried. I went in and was having contractions 2 minutes apart. I'm not sure I even felt the contractions until I had the monitor wrapped snugly around me. I'm guessing it was masked with my side pain because once I had he monitor on I could feel menstrual cramps and back pain. They gave me two bags of IVs and the contractions stopped. Nurse told me I had to drink 8 oz of water for every hour I'm awake. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I will figure it out. Sadly I still have my unexplained side pain lol. Nurse said it was likely stretching pains.
