What to drink?

Question

Hi everyone. I’m expecting my first child July 12. Everyone talks about their food aversions but mine...ready for this...it’s WATER!! Yes, water! Water makes me want to vomit. I’ve tried even putting lemon or pedialyte in it to give it some flavor. Nothing helps. All I want to drink is soft drinks. What are some things I could drink to help me stay hydrated? I still force water down but i certainly don’t enjoy it. Should I just suck it up?

Answer

Try carbonated water! Club Soda has some flavoured ones that are super tasty and no sugar! At least then you’ll feel like you’re having Soda but it’s water. Otherwise, maybe try Vitamin Water Zero (zero sugar). My first I had to have ICE COLD water. Lots of ice to be able to drink it.

Answer

Gatorade zero sugar

Answer

I drink a lot of flavored soda water! I put limes or other things in it to and it seems to change it up! I also do regular soda water in different juices like fruit v8 splash!

Answer

I was having problem with water as well until I got a soda stream, the bubbles help a lot

Answer

With my first I could not drink cold water from the faucet. It had to be ICE COLD or I would gag! I feel ya!

Answer

Herbal teas and juices mixed with water. I bought 100% pomegranate juice and mixed it with water, made it much easier to drink.

Answer

Same here! Even the thought of water makes me start gagging. And all I want is soda but dark soda not the white ones. I was told in previous pregnancies (when I had the same problem) that it’s because the syrup calms your stomach. Who knows. The best I’ve done so far this pregnancy was adding crystal lite and drinking in sips.

Answer

Herbal and decaf tea is how I’m surviving!! I also mix orange juice and Tangerine La Croix for a treat sometimes. Kinda like a mimosa. And chicken broth!

Answer

Ice for me too. So odd

Answer

My last pregnancy, I could only tolerate Smart brand water and literally no other water. It was such an expensive solution but at least I was hydrated.
