How much water are you drinking?

Pikmin620

I'm trying to be better about my water intake and am trying to get through 96oz a day.  Problem is, if I have anything more than a sip after about 7pm, I'm up @ 2am or 3am peeing (and once I wake up, I have a rough time getting back to sleep).  But man, 96oz is a LOT during the day!!

What are you all drinking?  I feel like I just need to get my body used to that amount, but its hard lol.

Quarts. I have 3-5 8 ounce cups of water every hour. Not because I'm a super responsible mommy, but because since 13 weeks, if I don't drink that much I get extremely thirsty and develop severe headaches. Yes I pee every 20 minutes but I feel good.

Depends on the day, usually a good 60-90oz a day though I'd say.  I have no problem falling asleep after waking up so if I get up to pee, I drink about another 1/2 glass of water before going back to sleep.  I only get up usually once in the middle of the night then can make it the rest of the night.  During the day I go once an hour unless baby is kicking my bladder or something.

Wow i don't drink that much....everything you drink during the day counts!! I usually have about 8 to 10 glasses...plus tea, milk and some juice!

I drink a lot of water because I get a LOT of BH contractions and supposedly drinking more water helps reduce them (haven't seen it but I'll keep up the water in take).  I also don't drink much else but water and my hot chocolate in the morning.

I drink at least 68 oz during the day, not counting any liquids I have with meals.  And yes, I pee all night long.  On a great night, I only wake up twice... but most nights I wake up 4 times.

I was drinking about 6 bottles a day, which I thought was a lot...I was in the hospital last week and this week for contractions (wasn't dialated) and she told me I need to drink more than 6...jeeze! I now drink about 8-10 glasses or bottles of water and I haven't had anymore contractions just more frequent bathroom trips lol

I drink between 100- 120 oz a day. and I have a tea in the morning and milk at night and thats it. I lke to drink the milk at night with dinner and take an extra calcium pill cause it helps me sleep.

I'd say I drink about 8-10 glasses of water a day, but I think they are 16 oz glasses, so that's about a gallon?

I have to get up to pee at night 2-3 times, it sucks, but I can tell a difference when I don't drink that much, I just feel crappy.

I don't know my exact intake but I alternate between water, milk, and juice.  I am probably not drinking the recommended amount but I make sure I drink.

I drink about 100oz a day. I got a water bottle that is 50oz, so it is so much easier for me to know I just have to fill it twice and drink that instead of a billion glasses of water. lol I also have the problem of having to pee at night, but I feel so much better when I drink my water.

I forgot to say that all 100oz is water, nothing else.

I keep a 16.9 oz water bottle at my desk and refill it when I empty it. I also have a notepad that I put a little tick mark on for every bottle I finish during the day. I'll usually get at least 4 in, sometimes 5 depending on how thirsty I am and how warm it is in my office. So I'll get at least 68 oz. but that's not including any milk I drink or liquids I get from the foods I eat.

Before I was pregnant I did not drink alot - basically I only drank during meals.  I am just never thirsty. 

My doctor said to make sure I drink water and milk.  So I try to do a bunch of water durin the day, I don't record it and I have no idea how much I actually drink.  I can say it likely isn't more than 68 oz. 

Is this terrible?  I feel good, I drink when I am thirsty, but I am not constantly consuming water.

All I drink is H2O.  I might do a crystal light at lunch or something, but other than that plain water.  I find I drink more at work then when I"m home.  I am up sometimes 2-3 times a night to pee.  Not exactly sure how much I drink, but its alot.  Like a pp said though, whatever you drink counts, so if you can't drink that much water, if your getting juice and other things that's ok.

Not to be gross, but I drink until my pee is clear. I basically drink two big bottles of water at work, then drink a few glasses at night. I know its annoying to wake up in the middle of the night, but we'll be getting up at night soon anyhow- it's good practice!

LOL I do the same. I pay attention to the color of my pee and if it is yellow I know I need more water. But, to answer the original question, I think I drink 64oz a day.
