How bad am I dehydrated and should the doctor do something?

Ketones are not supposed to be in your urine at all hun.

Did he tell you that you also have glucose present in your urine?

Usually when ketones are in you urine it is because you are diabetic. It can also be from starvation and very severe stress. If the ketones are just from dehydration then you REALLY need to replace some fluids.

Your doc needs to monitor this more closely, too much fluid is no good either.

Ketones in urine come from a breakdown of fat rather the glucose.

Keep an eye on this hun, I would be concerned too.

have had 3 children and i got hyperemisis with all three which is basically the worst kind of morning sickness you can get and it last all nine months, i've even had my kidneys shut down because of it. So as you can imagine i've had to deal with dehydration ALL the time. The best things to drink are pedialyte, gatorade, and powerade because the have lots of electrolytes which is what your body loses when you are dehydrated. Also besides those water is good too but not as effective. DO NOT drink anything with caffeine or lots of sugar such as sodas teas that are sweetened with sugar (green tea is okay) kool aids juices. These will only worsen your dehydration not help it. Drink all day long even if you are not thirst and eat salty foods as it helps your body retain water and therefore will help keep you from dehydrating more. IF you start to notice that you are not peeing as much or the cramping gets worse and doesn't go away go to your local er and they will give you some fluids to help get your body back to normal than you can keep it hydrated with all the things i told you before. good luck hun pay close attention to yourself :)

You have to make sure you drink enough! 8 glasses of water a day....or 4 glasses of water and 4 glasses of juice...or whatever, just drink a lot of water and other non-caffeinated drinks and you'll be ok. I've been pregnant 4 times, it's easy to get dehydrated, but you really have to be mindful of it.

If you can pinch the skin on the back of your hand and it's doesn't bounce back the way it was right away...like it stays pinched for a couple seconds, you're too dehydrated.

I additionally hate water. It extremely makes me ill. I drink Gatorade as a replace, it relatively is extra advantageous for hydration besides. I truthfully hate continuously having to pee, and having an entire bladder which you are going to not be able to absolutely administration. Thirsty or not, drink some thing. confident, dehydration is undesirable throughout being pregnant. My rfile advised me between the flaws dehydration would reason is untimely transport.

40 ketones is very bad. you should have no ketones at all. I think you may need to be hospitalized and placed on IV fluids.

Drink a bunch of gatorade and get those ketones flowing again. It will take a lot of work, but you can do it. Just keep chugging until orange runs out your nose, just like in the commercials.

Why are you dehydrated? Morning sickness? Call the doctor's office if you can't keep fluids down. If you can keep them down drink up!

Honestly,I think you need to drink some Pedialyte. It may be made for kids,but you need something better to hydrate yourself right now than just plain water.

you should drink a lot of gatorade i heard its really good for you when your dehydrated.

water water water,, drink plenty of it, gatorade would be great for this too
