Drinking enough water?

Question

Does anyone else have trouble drinking water?? I am currently 11 weeks and before pregnancy was able to drink 2 liters of water a day easily. I thought with this pregnancy I should increase my water intake, but it's hard for me to keep drinking without feeling sick and can barely keep up with my minimum. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stay hydrated?

Answer

I've had this same problem. I've tried crystal light since it's made with water, low cal, and usually caffeine free. Now that I'm reaching 11 weeks I'm hoping I will start to feel a little less nauseous and up the water intake. Fingers crossed! Try eating juicy fruit and vegetables too.

Answer

Same here and water is all I used to drink! Ughh I am def not getting my water intake and it is awful!

Answer

I've been struggling with it as well, I already feel nauseated and water does not help any.

Answer

So glad it's not just me. I have flavored seltzer too, but that makes me even more burpy/hiccupy and not less nauseous. Juicy fruit is a good idea, I will try that! Thanks everyone!

Answer

I have flavor water and am getting a flavor filter on my sink. I can taste everything so it makes it hard

Answer

Same! Water makes me nauseous. I have to drink a soda with breakfast in the morning or I get super sick.  More than like 3-4oz of water at a time makes me sick. Why?!

Answer

I was having a really hard time drinking water up until recently. It's still kind of difficult but not as bad. Any time I drink, it makes me gag

Answer

Drink anything water based. Capri-suns have been my go-to when water just isn't doing it for me. Or mi-wadi. Just keep fluids going in and make it water as much as you can. But don't beat yourself up, baby will take what he/she needs from whatever you drink

Answer

I put a squirt of lemon juice in. And I use a hair elastic on the water bottle (it has four ridges) so I can count how many I've had. But I still find it hard ! Going for ultrasound next week worried about not peeing for a hour lol

Answer

I struggle with getting water down too. Lately I've been buying those little water bottle like the 8 oz ones and they seem to make it easier for me to drink. Also when I start to feel sick I drink Pedialyte. I know it's gross but mixed with a little sprite it makes me feel so much better. Good luck :)
