Water

Can you over hydrate yourself?? I know seems silly but ibwas dehydrated amd dr said to drink more. So yesterday I drank 6 44oz cups of water. And woke up today drank 2 44oz cups already but I just feel sick. And baby moves constintly like hurting me whwn he moves like he can't get comfortable. Can all the water cause him to be uncomfortable?? Amd make me nauseated?

Yes you can over hydrate yourself. Have a salty snack and see how you feel after that. Water is great but the more water you drink the more sodium and electrolytes you flush from your body, so you need to make up for that loss.

Yes, you can over hydrate yourself.  It takes A LOT of fluids tho. If you are in pain i would call your prenatal nurse hotline to ask for advice.
