Well the other day my stomach was hurting
so bad and it only felt a little better if
I bent over, it was like that for about
two hours or so. I told my doc and she
told me that when that happens I need to
drink two huge bottles of water and lie
down and if it still doesnt stop then call
her cause it might be premature labor!!!!
Thats scairy, has this happened to anyone
else?

Wow, really they recommended you drink 2
huge bottles of water???
That is so dangerous, drinking too much
water too quickly can dilute the body
salts and cause lightheadedness and even
coma.
The recommended daily intake is 8 large
glasses around 3 litres.
I can't think what the term for it is
right now but i'm sure it will come to me
in a bit.

My doc recommended drinking that much
water b/c she said my uterous might have
been dehydrated and that might have caused
the pains.

body fluid

Wow I hope its not preterm labor! Feel
better sweetie!
This is unrelated really, but interesting.
When some people take ecstacy they think
they're dehydrated so they drink too much
water. It dilutes your blood I guess,
and it can kill you.
I don't think your doctor would tell you
to do something that would kill you,
though. It doesn't sound like all that
much water anyway, and it's not like she
wants you to drink it all at once right,
just over the course of the day?

Well I had excruciating uterine pains, and
the doctor gave me some medicine but they
never came back so I never bothered, but I
couldn't move that much or anything. I
really hope you feel better, you should
just rest though, don't put too much
stress on ur body & again, hope you
feel better swty.

very true and that is caused in some cases
by diluting the body salts to excess with
over consumption of water.
And to the other lauren yep, that's where
I first heard of it - clubbing! It is how
leah betts (very well known case in uk)
died. Ecstacy didn't kill her, the excess
fluid in her body did - she literally
drowned within herself
