Dehydrated??

Question

I'm drinking a ton of water it I still feel dehydrated and it's hard to get that 10 cups of water...anyone else feel like this? Have suggestions for making sure to get enough water?

Answer

I'm drinking ALL THE TIME but no matter how much I sip, my mouth is always dry T_T

Answer

I'm having the same issue. I'm drinking water like a fish and my mouth and lips still get very dry as well especially after I wake up from a nap or something.

Answer

It's so hard to even keep water down with morning sickness which continues throughout 24 hrs. At this point my best friend is crushed ice.

Answer

Also, download an app like "Count Log" where you can record the number of glasses you've had throughout the day. It's good self accountability.

Answer

Before I go to bed, I put a 16 oz glass of water next to my bed. That way ifi wake thirsty I can quickly grab a sip. Then when I get up I finish it off with my prenatals - that makes 2 cups before even starting the day. I bring water with me when I go out - it gets heavy carrying it around so drink up! Before I allow myself lunch, I know that I need to have drank at least 2 more cups. Between lunch and 5 when I come home, flat water is getting a little old so I use a soda stream to carbonate the water and sometimes add a touch of lemon juice. 1 carbonating bottle fills an oversized coffee mug 2x but is actually 4 cups. Using the bigger mug makes it feel like less of a chore. That brings me up to 8 before leaving work. Then, I drink whatever I want when I get home. My DH usually makes me a tall glass (16 oz) of lemonade or tea. Another 8 oz with my evening meds and I've met or exceeded 10. If you build water into your routine, you'll find it's really not hard to reach that goal.

Answer

I bought a cute, pink 32 oz water container that I keep with me all day. I make sure I drink at least 2 full containers which is 8 cups and then I drink 2 more cups with dinner. I have given up caffeine totally (usually drank tea all day), so I replaced that with water. That seems to help.
