Not sure if it’s the pregnancy or not, but I’m having a hard time taking in my water. Typically I would have between 146mL and 219mL of water a day when I was weight lifting consistently. Now that I haven’t as much, but still staying active, I’m wondering if it’s because of the pregnancy and always feeling so nauseous and full at the same time. I’m barely getting between 73 and 146mL. Wahhhh /:

I was like that during pregnancy too. I prefer water to any other drink because all other drinks are sweet, but I had no choice but to drink powerade and Gatorade when I was pregnant because that was the only thing I could get myself to drink. Also pedialite because it's way less sweet.

I’m having this issue too. I’m drinking a lot of chicken broth. That helps me get enough liquid. I’m still so nauseous.

@damiensmommy1117, yeah I’m not a pop drinker. Haven’t been for about 5-6 years or so. I’ll drink the occasion sprite though. I might look into drinking more of it as well as Gatorade, and possibly pedialite as well. Just can’t seem to get the water down!

@lulu85_18, I think the big thing I’d worry about is the sodium intake... even though chicken broth be SOOOO GUUUUUD ❤️😫 hahaha

Understandable. That is also a problem with Gatorade though. I buy the reduced sodium chicken broth, and it still tastes pretty good.

@lulu85_18, I might try that then!

@shivelynatalie, yes, I brought this up to my doctor yesterday because I am worried. He told me to watch my sugar, so I opted to go for something savory/salty since my blood pressure is normal.

I also like those no sugar added popsicles made with real fruit juice. They don’t have corn syrup and are really tasty. If I’m nauseous and can’t drink water, I’ll have one of those. I think the brand is “Outshine.”
