Plain water? :/

Am I the only one that finds plain water absolutely disgusting while being pregnant?!
Ugh I can't drink it!

So, I found a solution to drinking more water! Add just a little bit of 100% fruit juice to your water. I add about 1/2 cup to my 24oz cup.
Maybe this will help y'all too! >:D<

I add lemon juice to my water for a little flavor, also drink flavored carbonated seltzer water (the Poland Spring kind)

I like to drink la croix sparkling water it. Has no sugar no sodium and zero cal. And they come in a bunch of different flavors it's about all I can drink during my pregnancy. And I use to drink 100oz of water a day before now I'm lucky if I get half that

Same here - lots of ice and a lemon wedge helps.  Normally, I drink water exclusively.  Pregnancy is making everything weird.

I'm having a heck of a time drinking anything but strawberry flavored soy milk. Everything else makes me gag! For awhile I could get some Perrier down, but now that tastes salty and gross.

I love water but try adding a slice if cucumber, slice of lemon, and a mint leaf. Tastes great!

I do the 100% juice with water too. And sometimes Gatorade because I feel dehydrated.

I loved water before...But now I swear I can taste every pipe that it's been through. Even at work where it's triple filtered. I've been buying citrus fruit and adding it, a slice or two at a time to help. My favorite combination so far is a little lime and a little Clementine. (When I can manage to save the Clementine for water flavoring and not gobble them all up.)

Nesfruita! Add it to your water and it's not sugary like the other brands!

Ah I can't drink it either this time :-( it's so unusual for me. Best wishes doll!

I only REALLY want water at night. During the day I'm having a hard time with it. La Croix is my hero and my Target has so many flavors.

I love water, but hate it out of the fridge dispenser. The only way I can drink it these days is by a sealed water bottle from a manufacturer.

Water leaves weird aftertaste in my mouth now. I drink raspberry tea like a nut. I add some raspberry syrup to it, and some lemon...and mm..mmmm...mmmmmm....is it good!! :-)

I have been chugging pineapple, grapefruit, orange juice, and fresh lemonade like a wild woman these days. And it's been helping with the nausea, too!

Plain water is gross.

Maybe I should follow suit and chug juice also. I've been having a hard time with water and food, but keeping some sort of fluid down is better than nothing. I just have no taste for anything these days, but juice actually sounds really good.

My midwife's nurse told me that a lot of her patients swear by lemonade and citrus juices/fruit cups. I kinda gave her the side-eye, because logically I thought that all that acid would just be hell on my stomach...but it fucking WORKS!

Grapefruit juice is my JAM right now. My mom totally side eyed me, but I love it. I replaced my morning coffee with it.

Thankfully I'm chugging water like its my job. My 32oz Contigo and I are best friends. I lost it (in my car, under my seat) for two days and I didn't drink half the water I usually do. It's all about the big bottle+built in straw.

I do find there is a direct correlation between how much water I drink and how much I like my water bottle. I think I need a new one.

I agree withthe direct link to the cup. The lid to my cup doesn't twist on correctly right away. I have to fuck with it a bit. So sometimes if I drink it too quickly, Idont fill it up for a while.

So glad I saw this post! I've been struggling just to get 8 glasses a day... Thanks for all the tips!
