Before pregnancy, I drank 3 liters of water a day. During pregnancy, 4 liters was my minimum goal and it went up to 5-6 liters when I felt a little under the weather.
38 weeks BPS, I was diagnosed with low amniotic fluid (7) and was advised to inform my OB right away. I didn't and instead, drank 7 liters of water the next day.. 2 days after the diagnosis I went to my OB and was asked to repeat the BPS. To my surprise and disappointment, bumaba ang level from 7 to 5 (excuse I don't know the measurement). Nag advise si OB for admission and emergency CS. I felt defeated sa role ko as a mom since I took the best care of myself during the pregnancy and was even excited for labor pain. Water didn't and couldn't help me anymore.
The night before, hubby and I watched Pieces of a Woman on Netflix. Mejo may trigger warning pero maganda ang lesson for pregnant women. We have to trust our OB/midwife with our and our baby's life.
I gave birth via ECS a few hours later and thank God for my safe delivery to our beautiful baby girl. When things don't turn out according our plans, take deep breaths and pray.
