Water making you sick?

osuwku · February 2011

I know I need to be drinking a lot of water but everytime I take a sip it makes me want to throw up!! I know it is weird, but I just can't do it! Is this happening to anyone else? I've never liked the flavor packets you add to water and even juice disgusts me now! I've been drinking Ginger-Ale but not sure how much longer I can handle it. Ick!

Any suggestions?!? TIA!

I went through a phase where the thought of drinking water made me sick! I actually found that drinking it through a straw helped. I have no idea why but it worked!

I can't drink water most of the time but do have peppermint tea a lot the warm tea seems to help. any liquid that you can drink is good. hope you feel better.

When I was pg I found out that purified water was making me really sick, and once I switched to bottled spring water that did not make me sick at all! HTH

Water made me so sick in my last pregnancy. It was hard to stay hydrated and I was vomiting constantly. The only thing I could drink without getting nauseous was a (sugar-free) passion fruit iced tea from Starbucks. I think maybe it was because it was a little tart and sour things tend to be more easily kept down. Maybe swing by a Starbucks and see if that helps you. If it does, go out and buy some!

Like the previous post said, try drinking through a straw and use a lot of ice in the water. Add lemon to it as well. I get by drinking Lipton Half and Half Iced Tea once a day. 50 calories per 8 ounces and only 13mg caffeine. The sugar helps.

My sister drank G2 pretty much her entire pregnancy. It's a lot lower in sugar than regular Gatorade. Maybe that will help?

I've been the same exact way. I try to sip water slowly during the day but I get m/s really bad at night. Last night I knew if was going to get sick so I didn't want to put anything else in my stomach... but I was SO thirsty and all I wanted was water. I gave in and had a glass of water and right away threw it up. Atleast I knew what was going to happen, right? Haha... hopefully these fun symptoms will diminish soon!

Vitamin Water?

Me too! That whole 64 ounces a day thing is so hard to do. The flavor packets are working for me, but they still make me feel ill. My morning goes something like this: sip of water, cracker, sip of water, cracker, etc. etc.

I had this with my first pregnancy & became seriously dehydrated. I started medication & my OB said drink what ever I need to stay hydrated.

What worked varied from day to day - drinking thicker drinks (slurpees, milk - chocolate, strawberry & regular) homemade milkshakes, tart drinks (lemonade), the straw trick was short lived, and if all else failed loading up on carbs & drinking on a very full stomach.

If it gets too bad, don't be afraid to ask for medication - its much better than ending up on an IV.

To be honest, I'm not digging the water right now...it tastes kind of metallic to me. Which stinks because I'm a big water drinker and don't often drink flavored bevs.

I've been drinking a lime flavored carbonated water. It tastes kinda like sprite without the sugar or calories. It's helped me so far. Good luck finding a liquid that works for ya!

I've been drinking extremely diluted juice, regular juice seems to thick and gross but water is not working either. So, I drink ice water with a shot of juice in it.

When I can't stand that I have been drinking a chocolate milk/skim milk combo. I use about 1/4 glass chocolate milk and dilute it with 3/4 glass of skim milk.
