Ive found running about like we all do and not taking time to go the bathroom is a big issue what I also believe is a massive thing at least for me is I find we never drink enough water! so for the last year and half since this thought came to me, to become the water woman, I know i get thirsty so whenever I get myself a drink of water I get someone else on the team one too, our fluid charts look rubbish! so always think if your having a drink get someone else one too its appriciated alot :)

I keep water around anyways. I don't really care. It always has a lid on it and I try to keep it hidden. I'm not getting a UTI or a stone. If they can't provide me with adequate breaks to nourish my body then too bad! I'm keeping my water bottle!

It's funny, I always find time for coffee during my shift but sometimes I notice I will go a whole 12 hours without drinking any water...that's pretty bad! I'm trying to drink more water throughout my shift.

Hey--There is water in coffee ;-)

I'm trying to get pregnant and am dreading the limited caffeine.
