  Thanks @ForevAAROSE.  I fill the cup up all the way with ice, then add water.  It's definitely better than room temp water, but is still so nauseating!

  @KaraBear4409 Thanks!  Watermelon has been sounding totally delicious lately, you might be onto something there.  I've been meaning to make some popsicles too.  Thanks for the reminder!

  I have been wondering the thing and feeling very strange that water makes me nauseous, but I'm super thirsty. I agree that ice water helps and I drink out of a straw and take a few sips at a time.

  Sparkling water, adding fruit (even an orange slice), or adding some juice could help. Gatorade and the like is also really good at this time. If cold water isn't working maybe some decaf iced tea or hot tea if the mood is right.

  It's probably totally in my head, but it seems to help me control better. I'm really thirsty, but when I gulp, I feel like I take too much in and get that gross, sloshing water feeling in my stomach that feels like it's going to come back up. With a straw, I limit myself to one or two sips at a time and it seems to "feel" better. Again, probably a mental thing more than anything!

  I do always drink with a straw. Thanks for the suggestion @bzeetyd, I got some sparkling water. And some natural ginger ale. Hopefully I can get something down today.

  During 1st trimester, I was cutting up some ginger and boiling it in water to make a tea.   Then cooled it down in a jug in the fridge and added ice to it.  (So basically it was iced ginger tea).  That helped a lot...although now I can't even stand the smell of ginger, so maybe I had too much of a good thing!

  Sounds interesting @golfrgal. I'll try anything at this point, even though I don't care for ginger or tea all that much. Thanks!

  I 100% agree with the straw!  For some reason I drink more with a straw. 

  I still have a hard time getting all of my water in for the day.  I add orange, cucumber, or lemon slices to it for some flavor.

  100 oz. isn't a goal I'd ever be able to make.  Shew.

  @JewelsW1980 I thought so too.  But breastfeeding makes you really thirsty!  And BFing plus pregnancy is making me even more thirsty, but I just can't drink.  Ugh!
  
  You are so close to your due date!  Exciting!

  I was drinking lemon water, but with the vomiting I had to stop b/c it was awful on my throat.  Right now I am drinking 1/2 a glass of powerade and 1/2 water with lots of ice, through a straw.  The straw helps a lot because I don't have to open my mouth much and I can take super tiny sips. 
  
  I am not drinking near as much as I should, but if I can drink a few full glasses a day, and keep them in, I am counting it as a victory.
