Jana Kramer Details Pregnancy Scare During Babymoon
Jana Kramer
Jana Kramer is opening up about a health scare she had while she was supposed to be enjoying her babymoon in Florida.
The 39-year-old actress and singer, who is currently pregnant with her third baby—but the first for her and her fiancé Allan Russell—took to her Instagram page during the early morning hours on Sunday to share that the couple's babymoon "didn't go as planned."
"Well. Our babymoon didn’t go as planned but there were some lessons learned," she began in the caption of her Oct. 15 upload, which featured photos of the star during her hospital stay.
"First off and most important, baby is good??," she shared before detailing her weeks-long experience and the lessons she's learned from it.
"The back pain I’ve been dealing with for weeks wasn’t just back pain. Lesson number one…don’t just brush off pain," she pleaded. "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."
"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," she explained. "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??). But not wanting to ruin our babymoon or be sometimes how I can be (slight hypochondriac…and que my closests friends to laugh at slight) we boarded the plane to Florida."
Kramer's statement continued, detailing how things drastically changed once the couple landed in Florida. "When we landed I just couldn’t handle the pain anymore and I started to feel even more sick so we went to the hospital. 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 passed where I should have."
"So. Lesson. Listen to ur body. Ur not a baby or inconveniencing people," she said. "If u hurt, talk to ur doctor. Leaving things for too long or not taking care of yourself when ur not feeling good can become very serious."
"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..*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," she concluded, "Y’all were the sweetest. Xx."
Unfortunately for Kramer, this is not the first babymoon she's had that's been less than relaxing. Over the summer, the One Tree Hill alum expressed that the idea of going away before welcoming her third child was unappealing because her first babymoon left "a negative taste" in her mouth after it was seemingly ruined by one of her ex-husband's (Mike Caussin) cheating scandals.
