flu (prayer please)

[katelyn]

I came down with a bad case of the flu on Monday night. I'm now recovering, but it was pretty bad. I got very dehydrated to the point where it caused some BH contractions (scary because I'd never had them before). I'm also down about 8 lbs (probably from the dehydration).

I am thankfully getting better, but I'd just like prayer for our continued recovery and good judgment about whether I'll be ready to handle the long trips this weekend to visit family. I don't want to do anything to put my baby at risk.

OK, sure I can pray for you.

I had bad flu with my first pregnancy but it was the first trimester so I didn't get BH contractions. The most important thing is that you pray and ask God what you should do about travellling. If you are not up to it, you are not up to it, and as hard as that will be, you and the baby are priority here.

I have heard that dehydration can make BH worse, so make sure you keep the fluids up.

OK, sure I can pray for you.

Thanks!

Praying for you & the health of your baby...

You might not feel like it (& probably everyone is telling you this so feel free to tell me to stick a sock in it)....but drink water until your eyeballs are floating....then drink some more!! Dehydration is the worst in pregnancy....so take care of yourself & the baby!!
