Do you pregnant mommies really drink 8-10 glasses of water a day? It's hard for me to drink water…

You can flavor your water when your hungry. I do that a lot

I dont😩 try to though

Ice water. That's the only way I'll drink it now. @skyy12221

@selizabeth292, I do lemon water a lot I even made pineapple strawberry that was really good but I ran out of pineapples 😩. @mommydess Ice water is really good too! I'll try doing it more though. Water also gives me painful gas pains... is that normal?

Yup..ice water.

What I started to do was , I got one of those 1 gallon jugs that you can get from Walmart or target (used by soccer players or other sports) fill it up with lots of ice and water with any flavor (I do lemon not from concentrate ) and that will last you all day! It's so much easier than having to grab water or force yourself to drink it. It's kind of a hassle to carry around all the time but if it's there you'll drink it I promise! @selizabeth292

Ahh I tagged the wrong person! Lol @skyy12221

@gcpaschal, I see ice water is a hit! Lol I'll try doing that more, thank you.

@abbydi, Thank you, I was actually thinking about getting a gallon jug to see if it helps! Do you drink it all in one day?

Water seems to give me heartburn for some reason so it wouldn't surprise me lol. @skyy12221

Ohhhh! And I drank a lot more water when I bought disposable water bottles. I think they're a waste of money but I really did drink a lot more water when I could just reach in the fridge and grab a bottle. You can also refill them too. @skyy12221

@mommydess, Lol and yeah I keep 2 or 3 bottles of water at my bedside each night I can't sleep without it and I kinda drink it while still half asleep.

Water gives me heartburn also. I'm 34 weeks today and was in the hospital Friday and Saturday. Found out my baby had an arrithmyia. Well I also found out I was dehydrated. I drank a ton of water to see if that would help my baby because I knew I wasn't taking in that much caffeine. I just knew it was lack of water. By the next morning the doctors said her heart rate has leveled out and she's much better. Water is so important. I had to learn the hard way.

I was like that even before becoming pregnant. Im just not thirsty

I do! My first day of using the jug I forced myself to drink the whole thing by like 6/7pm (I wake up super early so it lasted me about 12 hours) and after that it was a breeze! It helps so much to drink lots of work. My energy is up and I feel like a million bucks most days . (Considering I'm pregnant of course lol) @skyy12221

@gcpaschal, oh wow, I'm glad she's okay! I don't want to learn the hard way that's why I know I need help to try to do something now so I can get a habit of doing it. @scoobygirl30 Me too! I just want to do better now that I am, I know baby needs it.

Yes agreed. I drink now but not water lol mostly sweet tea

My doctor even noticed and was super proud of me for carrying that thing everywhere lol @skyy12221

@scoobygirl30, Lol I had sweet tea for lunch today. @abbydi that's good lol

I drink most of my water at night. But my doctor told me that it means 8-10 coffee cup sizes

@blessedmommy03, so it's not bad I drink it at night?

I can't drink water like that, I have a hard time. As a result I constantly have had UTI's throughout my pregnacy. I barely drink a whole bottle, and I try to do more but it never works out -__-

@santanna86, I have a hard time during the day but not at night. I got a uti at the end of my first pregnancy and I've had one so far for this one. I can't tell when I have one though I always find out at the doctors.

That small chipped ice makes it so much easier. I also get smaller 12 ounce bottles so it doesn't seem so intimidating. Add some fruit to it. I reward myself like I'll drink a small can of ginger ale once I finish 2 bottles of water. It's hard but I'm trying lol.

@skyy12221, no it isnt bad at all.

@gcpaschal, Oooo! I love ice chips! Maybe that could be my thing! @blessedmommy03 yay! I'm so happy! I have my 3 bottles of water next to me right now lol I just got in bed.

I drink 2-3 16oz bottles a day. Sometimes I can get to 4 but it's so hard. Then I'm peeing all the time.

@valrocks Lol yes I pee a lot during the night but I can't help it. I used to try a water intake counter and I deleted it cause it annoyed me with the notifications so much lol
