too much sodium

[crayon]

Okay I drank a whole V8 the med size in one afternoon- not the family size but not the indivdual size- anyway, I was telling my mom when we were at the store and the check out lady starts telling me to watch it because V8 has a ton of sodium and that can really hurt the baby or me and cause all kinds of problems in pregnancy. So did I do something wrong? How much sodium in one day is too much? I want to eat some soup but now I am all freaked out about that.

Sodium is lovely.

Of course, I might be biased, because I typically have low blood pressure.

Seriously, though, the idea of limiting sodium during pregnancy is something that people were told 20, 30 years ago, but generally not anymore. You're fine, IMO.

Pregnant mamas actually need more sodium than non pregnant women. You can get the V8 in low sodium if you are really worried
