Water intake?

wercookin · August 2013

Anyone know how much water we should be drinking per day? I feel water logged!!

Don't ask, just keep drinking it.

"Aim for eight 8-ounce glasses per day (64 fluid ounces) of fluid, plus one 8-ounce cup for each hour of light activity. Milk, juice, decaffeinated drinks, and caffeinated drinks all contain plenty of water and "count" toward your fluid intake.

Keep in mind that juice and sweetened drinks also provide a lot of extra calories, so don't rely on them too much."- https://www.babycenter.com/404_how-much-water-should-i-drink-while-im-pregnant_5283.bc

This is how I feel every day:

I lost 109lbs from 2011 - 2012, so I'm very used to drinking upwards of 120oz a day, lol. I haven't even noticed any extra pee, because I'm used to going so often. I hopefully have very healthy kidneys, lol.

My tricks are: Mio, crystal light packets, lemon water, lime water, cucumber water and strawberry water. Or just regular water.

Ooo, cucumber water sounds SO yum. My doc told me we really can't get enough water now that we're pregnant. Just drink and drink and drink until your eyeballs feel like they are floating. I sort of wondered if it's possible for us to drink *too* much, because I know it's possible to drink too much when we aren't pregnant. He said it isn't possible. I know I'm not even close to drinking as much as I need to. Doc said that urine should be clear. I need to drink up for sure.
