Baby Bumps

When I got pregnant, my nurse in the initial phone call to my OB was quick to tell me to be sure I was drinking enough water. And the OBs office sent over an ebook with advice for different issues- almost everything lists "more water" (headache, constipation, dizziness, cramping, colds, etc)

Now I've always been a water drinker. I'm a classic beverage goblin millennial, with a sparkling water bottle, my 32oz water bottle, and smoothies are my favorite pregnancy breakfast.

So when they told me to up my water at the beginning, I listened. And increased my water intake by a couple of water bottle refills a day

Last week I started getting headaches. I'm 14 weeks along, and assumed they were just from hormones. I referred to the ebook, and worked to increase my water more to help out

This did not help. The headaches were nonstop.

I need to interrupt myself here and point out that my prenatal vitamins make my urine neon yellow. They always have. So...the output continued to be bright colored.

I just assumed I must be dehydrated, and my headaches weren't going away and I was getting dizzy too

I was planning to call the doc this morning if nothing improved.

Then yesterday I made homemade popcorn, and accidentally dropped the salt, making it way too salty. But as popcorn is life, I decided to eat it anyway. Even tho it was mouth puckeringly salty
