1st Trimester

Oops... a mistake and advice...

So I'm cooking dinner and feel like crap... light headed, incredibly dizzy, just all around awful. I decide to sit down for a moment, and then I realize that I've had hardly anything to drink today.

 I've been tired and sleepy and haven't gotten very much done, and all in all I had about about a glass and a half of water today. Did I mention I like in a tropical climate and it's 85 degrees out?

 I know, I know, I'm an idiot! I know that water is super important for baby, and I don't know what I was thinking today.

I've never been a big water drinker- how are other people remembering to drink constantly?

  • I bring a 40oz water jug with me to work every day and sit it on my desk.  But I've been doing that for years, so I'm already in the habit of it.

  • If I'm hungry (which I have been a lot lately) I have something to drink first, then eat. Then I'll usually drink some more while eating.

  • Alternate water with other beverages.... I am in love with diet ginger ale right now. :) Also, adding a bit of lemon juice, cucumber slices or orange to your water makes it more drinkable.

  • I try to drink at least half a glass whenever I walk into the kitchen, although sometimes I have a tough time getting it down. In the evenings I usually have water or juice in front of me. During the day, I drink herbal tea. Just ordered some Tea for Two and I'm looking forward to trying it!
  • I get dry mouth every hour if I haven't been drinking water like I should. I never really liked water until my first pregnancy. It makes you feel so good.
  • I keep a 32oz bottle of water at my desk.  So minimum I get that and then drink with meals.  I like to refill it once during the day, but that doesn't always happen.
  • I bought a jug that holds 2.2 liters of water.  It has a hole at the top big enough to put ice in as well.  I fill it with ice and water in the morning and make sure I finish it up before bed. 
  • I wasn't a big water drinker either. Now I fill a big water bottle every morning and carry it everywhere with me.
