Last pg I couldn't get enough cold water. This time not so much and I'm fully aware of the issues that dehydration in pg.

I could use some tips on how to get myself to drink more water when all I crave is juice, choc. milk and of all things SODA (rarely EVER touch the stuff!).

TIA!

    Squeeze just a little lemon juice or a drop of OJ in your water.  Just a little goes a long way (especially with the lemon)!

    I need some tips too.  My diet coke addiction has taken over.

    Plus I have started having braxton hicks this week and I know water helps.

    I eat lots of spicy food. The water goes down really fast when your mouth is on fire ;)

    Already do that Sahara - as well as salty, but that seems to only be making things worse since the water intake isn't increasing. Sad  Thanks though!

    Back when I was tracking how much water I was drinking, I used a straw. For some reason I ended up drinking a lot more water through a straw than just out of the bottle.

    I drank a lot of lemon/lime seltzer, or seltzer with lemon. It helped when I was craving soda. Also, eating a lot of fruits and hydrating vegetables is a good way to get liquids too.

    Yes - I do the straw thing! Funny how that works.

    Maybe I'll try mixing it with some flavored seltzer. It could just be too bland, even with some lemon mixed in.

    Grab a cup, add some ice or not, insert a straw and get to drinking.  It's really easy.
