be honest...are you drinking 8 glasses of water a day??

jonnygurl76 · April 2011

i already was a water drinker--it is all i drink during all day besides my milk at breakfast. i know this will change once it gets warmer out and i am trying--i carry a water bottle with me when we leave the house...but it still isn't 8 glasses.

amy0610 · April 2011

My midwife told me I'm supposed to drink a gallon a day. Sooooo not even close. I started adding crystal light packets every now and then which helps, but I'm still not close.

soulmates04 · April 2011

Ugh I would love to be able to but water always gives me heartburn....ugh!

rescueddogmom · April 2011

I have always had close to a gallon/day and unless I am too lazy to refill my water bottle at the drinking fountain during the day, I'm still getting that much.

SandyandFrankie · April 2011

Most certainly not 8 plain glasses of water!! I drink juice and lots of herbal teas (mint, lemon, etc). I find plain water kinda boring...

KnoxBride06 · April 2011

I try to drink water, but I really don't drink alot of anything, even pre-pregnancy. I sip on stuff all day long, but it takes me forever to actually drink a whole bottle of water.

kaydi327 · April 2011

I am. It's all I drink besides a glass of OJ in the morning. Prior to the pregnancy I practiced hot yoga and drank well over 100 ounces each day. Now I'm at about 64 oz. I think that's why it doesn't seem like I am peeing more than usual- I am used to going a lot!

UGADawg8 · April 2011

I've never really liked water. I drink about 20oz a day at work but with a packet of crystal light in it. At home I may drink a little bit of propel zero but very rarely do I drink plain water and never 8 glasses a day.

kdwbrownsugar · April 2011

I'm trying but NO!

cantalopes24 · April 2011

I bought a liter size water bottle and was trying to drink at least 3 of them a day, but then I just went out and bought a 3 liter bottle. I find the container helps because if I keep refilling one small glass/bottle it seems like a lot more than just trying to drink one or 2 huge bottles.

alison2379 · April 2011

I am, but I also did prior to getting pregnant. I carry one of the huge Nalgene bottles around with me.

babes12 · April 2011

i'm pretty sure i drink that. i have a water bottle w/ me at all times and am constantly filling it up all throughout the day.

SpinningJess · April 2011

I drink anywhere from 64-80oz a day of ice cold water. But that's my favorite drink and I always drink at least 64 oz, pregnant or not. I don't really drink much else.

christen_z1 · April 2011

No, I'm not. I really try but I get busy and forget. I do drink a lot of milk too though.

lfen0526 · April 2011

yup, I probably drink 80-90 Oz's. That's all I drink though, I have a glass of milk like twice a week. I'm just a water drinker. always was!

KozieKim · April 2011

I buy the gallon bottle and keep it with me all day. It helps with keeping track when i am slacking on the fluids. I drink all but one glass or so, and I stop drinking around 8pm.

triple_sevens · April 2011

I drink about 1.5 liters a day, which is about half a gallon. I feel like I'm drinking constantly, so I don't see how I could do more!

Lambie. · April 2011

Last time around I drank water like I was fueling up for a trip across the desert. This time water tastes disgusting for some reason and I am having a hard time getting it down. I crave juice like crazy but I can't have any.

LCass · April 2011

Depends on if I'm working or not. On days when I have a supply teaching job, I don't drink much water until the school day's over 'cause I can't keep running to the bathroom. When I'm not teaching, I do a much better job of getting in enough water.

skeenan293 · April 2011

I have been trying, but I am no where close to the right amount.

peoples0509 · April 2011

I have a 20 oz cup that I have with me at work everyday and I'm constantly filling it up. I usually drink 3-4/day so thats 60-80 ounces of water. So, I'm getting the amount we should have a day, but I also have juice in the mornings and decaf sweet tea at night since I'm really not a big water drinker to begin with.

ababymaybe · April 2011

I am, but I've always been a big water drinker. It's SUPER dry where I live, and I work out, so I find I really do need a lot of water. Plus, I'm paranoid about UTI (I seem to get them more easily when I slack on the water).

happylady07 · April 2011

I'm trying, it was my New Years Resolution this year to drink more water, and then I got pregnant so I really have to keep up with it! I carry a water bottle with me all the time, which helps, but I don't think I'm getting as much as I should. Adding frozen raspberries helps me drink more too, and a lot of times I just figure, my pee is clear, I'm doing okay! LOL

I usually have a glass of milk a day, and a glass or 2 of cranberry juice.

jenn&chris2 · April 2011

I too was a big water drinker before & I drink even more now b/c I always seem thristy. I have a water bottle at work that's 2.2 liters & I drink 2 of those at work & then I drink a few big glasses of ice water at home. Not including my cup of coffee in the AM & anything else I drink non-water throughout the day, but I mostly stick to water.

This is me! I'm not a drinker at all.

itsmegin · April 2011

I drink at least that, usually more. I'm thirsty all the time, if I skimp I get headaches and I wake up all night dying of thirst with dry mouth. I am motivated to drink a lot.

I also drink coconut water, juice, and sparkling water to mix it up. Also someone on here recommended adding frozen raspberries or other fruit to flavor the water, I've been doing that, it's so good, and then the raspberries melt and you can eat them Smile

blu-eyedwife · April 2011

I was a water drinker before, so no real change. I drink about 160 oz a day, or 10 16 oz glasses (which I guess would technically be 20 glasses of water a day?)

forensicmama · April 2011

No way! Not even close to it! I drank more before I was pregnant. Now it makes me sick.

phebe.crabb · April 2011

on the weekends i'm bad but i come very close to 64 oz...during the week I drink probably 80oz or more. But that is really all i drink...except for the an occasional root beer.

Wowee....how many bathroom trips do you make LOL I thought I drank a lot. That's great though, if you plan to BF that will be very VERY beneficial to your milk supply!

Soon2BMrsN · April 2011

Probably. I drink 2 huge (20+ oz.) bottles of water while at work and then have several glasses between arriving home and going to bed.

stabil19 · April 2011

I drink at least 3 - 16oz water bottles, but too much more and I am up all night going to the bathroom! My bladder is getting smaller and smaller! It's cutting into my sleep time!

triciachartier · April 2011

I don't drink a lot of water. I've never been a water drinker and I probably only have maybe 1 cup a day if that.

I should really step it up.

A GALLON a day?! I would explode! lol! I told my Dr. have been drinking as much as I can stand. lol! and thats the truth. I was already a watter drinker and I have been making an effort to drink more but one can only consume so much liquid a day! lol! i think they are trying to make us explode!

alieelyse · April 2011

I'm pretty certain that the liquids you drink during the day don't HAVE to all be water. I've read that any kind of broth/soup or juice, milk, etc. all count. I used to only drink water, besides an occasional glass of juice and milk with my cereal for breakfast. However, during my first trimester water was the LAST thing I wanted to drink. It just felt too Liquidy? splashing around in my stomach. (That probably doesn't even make logical sense but...whatever). I drank Ginger Ale like I could single-handedly save the company if it were going bankrupt. Since hitting the second tri. I've been adding more water into my diet but it's much more sparingly than before I was pregnant.

Elsa1984 · April 2011

I have been pretty good about it because I love water.....I am getting between 9-10 glasses of water a day in.

moviesprincess · April 2011

I normally drink about 100oz of water a day but sometimes I am inconsistent on days I am not at work. Now I am just trying to be extra sure I have all 100oz a day.

owens0410 · April 2011

I'm not even close to 8 glasses a day.

sherbieface · April 2011

I drink between 40-60 oz at work, and then either have water or milk with dinner. In the bottle I bring to work, I mix 2/3 water with 1/3 V8 fusion, and then just refill that all day.

mtc2009 · April 2011

Nope. When I do drink something at work during the day, my drink of choice is water (don't like pop) but even pre-pregnancy I struggled with drinking enough water. Sometimes I only have a few sips per day. Now I've been trying to drink more but maybe only get about 1- 8oz serving in per day (I know so bad) but I just can't seem to drink more and I don't know why.

Runnergirl2242 · April 2011

Its 8 cups that are 8oz so thats about 64oz. I drink about two twenty four oz water bottles and then a couple glasses of juice and sparkling water. So I am probably just hitting it.
