Jana Kramer had a vacation to remember, but it wasn't the relaxing fun it was supposed to be. Her fun vacation before her baby arrives turned into an unexpected hospital stay and some pretty hard-learned lessons.
Jana went on a babymoon with her husband.
The country singer, who is expecting her third baby, the first with her fiancé
Allan Russell (she also shares Jolie and Jace with her ex-husband Mike Caussin), shared an update that she was recently in the hospital.
Posting to Instagram, Jana shared her babymoon plans didn’t go as expected.
"Part one….Well. Our babymoon didn’t go as planned but there were some lessons learned. First off and most important, baby is good♥️," she wrote in the caption of a carousel post.
'The back pain I’ve been dealing with for weeks wasn’t just back pain,' she continued.
"Lesson number one…don’t just brush off pain, because it can be more serious than u think. So many times (moms especially) just brush off pain because we are the last ones to take care of ourselves," she shared.
"When I posted about my back hurting a week ago I just had chalked it up to pregnancy and didn’t tell the doctors because back pain is 'normal' so 'don’t be a wimp' is what I thought," Jana added.
"Then someone very sweet in my dms sent me a message that it could possibly be my kidney. (I’ve since thanked her for her dm )."
Jana shared that despite feeling terrible, she still got on the plane to Florida.
She didn’t want to “ruin” their planned trip, so she still went ahead with the trip. But Jana realized pretty quickly that she really didn’t have another choice but to go to the hospital when she “couldn’t handle the pain anymore.”
"Long story short it was a bad bacterial infection that got into the kidneys. This resulted in a 2 day stay in hospital and antibiotics because I let it get [past] where I should have," she wrote. "So. Lesson. Listen to ur body. Ur not a baby or inconveniencing people. If u hurt, talk to ur doctor."
She wanted to leave her followers with some advice she learned while in the hospital.
"Leaving things for too long or not taking care of yourself when ur not feeling good can become very serious," she wrote.
"Also shout out to this amazing man who I begged to go sleep at the beautiful hotel he got for us but instead slept on a pull out chair," Kramer added of Russell.
"Tip… Find u a man who doesn’t make u feel bad or leave ur side when ur not feeling good. Shout out to the nurses at Good Samaritan hospital in West Palm. Y’all were the sweetest. Xx."
Jana posted a second update, sharing that she did make it to the beach.
"Part 2: Upside of not feeling good in Florida…this view," she wrote in the caption of the new post.
"Though it was only one day to enjoy it we soaked up every minute. I love you @superiorstriker."
