Stay Hydrated Ladies!/Horrible Day
Well today started off great! I had a growth scan and doc said everything was going great. After my appt I went to my local WIC office where I applied last week and they said they were having a farmer's market this week where we could pick fresh farm produce in addition to the regular vouchers we receive. Well I get there and registration for the special vouchers was OUTSIDE and the line was wrapped around the building.It was around 10 AM but I live in GA and it was already 87 degrees but the humidity had the heat index in the mid nineties. I got so overheated and dehydrated that I fainted and the ambulance had to take me to the hospital.
I was in OB assessment from 11 AM til 3:45 PM all because they wanted to conduct an NST for an hour but my little princess kept moving and they couldn't keep her heartbeat monitored for more then 15 minutes at a time before I had to start over. I'm dreading the next 8 weeks because I had previously been ordered to have 2 NSTs a week starting at 32 weeks which I will be tomorrow. Hopefully she wont be as active lol. I know its a long post but make sure you stay hydrated ladies in the extreme heat. I had drank a bottle of water this morning but I guess it wasn't enough :\
Keep your fluids up and your little ones safe!

Glad your feeling better. I'm in ga too and we had our wic farmers market on Monday but I missed it because I had an appointment the same time plus I know the line would have been insane lol!!!!
Thanks poohfan! Yes it was morning and I had already drank one bottle. I'm just gonna stick to staying inside all day. I really wanted some fresh fruit lol. Totally not worth it though...
Almost happened to me yesterday I was only outside for 20 mins tops .. had to drink 3 bottles of water and sit in front of the ac with a cold towel just to feel better

You should be drinking atleast 6 bottles a day. Remember, your body is working harder.Drink up ladies.
Wow! That's scary. Glad you and baby are okay.
