Water

Medic99

Are any of you having issues with bottled water tasting funny? I can only drink Aquafina now as the others taste terrible. I think I have finally lost it.

Not water, but chocolate :-( Somedays its ok, but other days it has been tasting like dirt! 

Medic99

Oh now that is not good . Chocolate should never taste like dirt especially when pregnant. I am sorry!

katieharpiceland

I know. Its a huge bummer!

I'm crazy and always think different bottled waters taste differently. I really don't like Dasani

csmily51

I can only drink Smart Water, Crystal Geyser or a Speedway brand that is like Smart water. Dasani and Aquafina taste funny to me.

Edit: Dasani, not Dada...stupid autocorrect

Both of my entire pregnancies water is a hit and miss.

Not water, but my taste buds definitely change during pregnancy- last time, I couldn't accurately taste salt, and this time my spice-Ometer seems to be busted. I think things are spicy that aren't, or don't think things are spicy that are.

I'm obsessed with electrolyte water lately. I've always had to force myself to drink a lot of water but lately if it's electrolyte water I could drink it all day and night.

My issue with water these days is it gives me heartburn. Especially cold water. I never would have believed this could happen before. I can't drink sweet drinks because of the GD, so I'm relegated to being dehydrated or drinking tepid water. Yippee. Ugh.

@rockstarlaw I can't have really cold water -- or any other beverages, for that matter -- either. Heartburn comes up like crazy!

rockstarlaw

@PoppySeedWindsor‌ - not love titting because I'm happy for your heartburn - but out of solidarity!

@rockstarlaw Misery loves company :-)

I don't have that issue with water, but I do with eggs.

Yes - bottled water has been tasting funny definitely. I have to mix water with other things to get some down. Unfortunately Ann Arbor's water has pretty high chlorine content (if I'm remembering correctly), so I try not to drink tap.

I can only drink water if it's super cold with tons of ice. Once the ice is gone i can't drink it.

I feel like we should have a moment of silence for your taste buds..

No water problems but I have a love for pickles and haven't been able to eat one in awhile. They have a funky taste lately.

I've had the flu (or some kind of bug) the past 2 days, and since then, water has been tasting awful! Not good seeing how I desperately need to rehydrate!

I think all bottled waters taste pretty gross.  Fiji isn't bad.  I drink *gasp* tap water.

Our tap water is well water that comes out black a lot of the time so it is not an option. We have to have bottled water brought in. I miss the tap water at my Mom's house.

The last two or three weeks I can't eat enough crushed ice. I put a filter in our fridge and drink that water and eat all the ice and I'm just doing it constantly when I'm at home. I hope it's not driving DH crazy. 

rockstarlaw

Ugh, @Melody*W* that sucks! Sorry!

nursewinnie

I work at the hospital and have a nice machine with lovely crushed ice chips right near the procedure room I work in. It's the most glorious and satisfying sensation to crunch it up. Mmmmmm.

AcaAwkward

I am currently obsessed with crunching on ice as well. But it gives me the WORST heartburn. That doesn't even make sense.

haziedaze

Yes, it has to be COLD!

rockstarlaw

Not loving because I'm happy for your heartburn, @AcaAwkward‌ - just agreeing with the ludicrousy of water giving heartburn.

Medic99

I love hospital ice water! I am so looking forward to it when I give birth!

RocksInTheWater

@katieharpiceland I totally understand.  My taste buds have been hating on sweets the last couple of weeks.  I can't describe the taste but nothing sweet tastes quite right!  What a joke.

SoulTermination

I couldn't stand tap water or bottled water, so DH and I got a Brita Ultramax fridge dispenser. Best. Thing. Ever. I'm sucking down so much water now I'm shocked!

JessieAlbin

I'm like that kid from Signs; if water comes from a tap, I'm not interested. If it's got ice from an ice machine, I am grossed out by it (I've cleaned out a commercial ice machine once, and now I am paranoid all ice machines are that disgusting). If it's a bottle, I'll drink it, but if it has been open long enough, it becomes undrinkable. Smart Water is my fave, but I'll go for anything in a bottle. DH bought me a Primo water cooler in the first tri because he couldn't get me to touch water (it made me so nauseated, the weirdest!!), and now I swear I can kill one of those huge jugs in two days by myself. So long as the glass of water doesn't sit out very long getting "contaminated."

Me too! The ice at my hospital is incredible!

RedDawnsRevenge

We have a reverse osmosis because of our crappy water. The RO is then run back under the house to the fridge where it gets filtered again.

Its just not fair!!!

I can't get enough water! Tap, bottled, filtered from machine at work....and I LOVE it cold. The colder, the better! Unfortunately, the heart burn creeps up later, but I suck it up because the water just tastes THAT good! LOL

Kriztyn

I'm obsessed with my Brita Filter. I just refill it every night so I am good to go in the morning. I also fill my jug with lots of ice and a straw.... I drink more water if I have a straw (Same goes for Alcohol... haha... c'mon summer!)

patunia7321

I've always been a plain water drinker. Not too cold, no ice, no fridge. (weirdo) Thank god it doesn't give me heartburn! I like an occasional fresh brewed sweet tea, but plain water is my go to. I just got a camelbak and that really increased my water intake. I don't really have a bottled water preference- tap gal- but I despise Evian!
