Your tips for staying hydrated needed

What have you been able to keep down?  I think dehydration is making the zofran/constipation side effect much worse, but it's really hard for me to take most liquids.

Re: Your tips for staying hydrated needed

  • lots and lots of frozen ice pops, italian ice etc. i think pedialyte makes frozen ice pops as well

    Gatorade/powerade got me through the worst of it. Around 8-10 weeks I had a really tough time with liquids.

    Popsicles (try making homemade ones with juice!)

    Fruit (especially watermelon).

  • Coconut water is awesome. It has electrolytes like gatorade, but is good for you with a lot of vitamin C and potassium.

  • I make a pitcher of "spa water" everyday - orange, lemon, and cucumber slices - keep it cold in the fridge! Easier for me to get down than plain water. And watermelon is great, and grapes.

  • Some ladies on here mentioned this tip and it's been working great for me - putting some lemon slices and icecubes in a big glass of water & drinking it with a straw.

    I've always had a problem with drinking enough water, and this has helped me drinking much more!

    My cousin told me that staying hydrated helped her look great during pregnancy. She said if you're dehydrated, you can become puffier looking!

  • I have been ok with water lately but it has to be ice cold.  I've also found that adding a lemon wedge or two is helping.  I'm starting to get better this week but a couple weeks ago I was also eating about 3 Edy's whole fruit popcicles a day.
