Last Wednesday was kind of scary for me. Around 11:30, my stomach started hurting - like a cramp. It wasn't contractions - it wasn't spasms - it was more like a solid pain.
I called the doctor and the nurse who called me back said the most likely cause was dehydration - if I am not drinking enough water my uterus can cramp up. She told me that I needed to slow down, go home, rest, and drink lots of water, and if I didn't feel better I needed to call back.
My stomach hurt a lot all day long. Mom flew out that day and she and Grant took very good care of me. I drank a ton of water. When I woke up Thursday, I felt back to normal - my back was a little sore from supporting my stomach, but I felt fine - but boy oh boy, lesson learned. I have been drinking lots of water ever since!
