Ladies, Drink Your Water 💦

So today was interesting. I had my 33 week check up (every two weeks) and the baby sounded great, blood pressure was normal, etc. I mentioned about consistent cramping and hardening of my belly thinking it’s normal Braxton Hicks. After hooking me up to the monitor my doctor realized I was having contractions. Frequently. She took a culture to test if I was in preterm labor and shipped me to the hospital. I got to experience my first physical check of my cervix (which is closed) which was VERY uncomfortable and I felt extremely violated. They tested my urine and turns out I have a bladder infection, hence the frequent urination and pressure. So I was glad that I wasn’t in labor and this wasn’t going to be the day my daughter makes her debut. I was nervous but glad I got to experience what it would be like when I am in actual labor. After all this I realized that I’m not drinking enough water so that’s my advice to all you other pregnant ladies out there!
