What are you drinking?

wdw1005bride · November 2013

I am having a terrible time drinking water right now. I take a sip and it feels like its going to come right back up. I have been resorting to very watered down orange gatorade and vitamin water. But I am trying to avoid extra calories from drinks. I usually love plain old water. So frustrating!

Ice mountain sparkling water with lemon has been amazing to me. Sometimes with just a splash of cranberry

Right this second I'm drinking water with pieces of ginger root in it. I heat it up like tea. It helps with the nausea. Other than this I've drinking a lot of plain water (blecht), ginger ale (although it's high in sugar/ calories), and dark chocolate almond milk (for the calcium). The almond milk almost came back up last night though. Good luck keeping the liquids down!

Last pregnancy I drank water with cucumbers and lemons. I couldn't keep anything else down. It's also amazingly refreshing once summer and hot weather hits.

alyssa719 · November 2013

I've been adding mio to water, or I'll have watered down orange juice, sparkling water (but I'm not really supposed to drink carbonated things), and v8. I hate plain water but know I need to drink more of it (currently only drinking about a quart of plain water per day.

wdw1005bride · November 2013

Thanks ladies! These are great ideas! I have some cucumbers at home. And will try to find some sparkling water. I have been having chocolate milk every morning (the little cartons I buy for my son, lol). I just hate drinking so many calories when I normally just drink coffee and milk and powerade zero (post workout) during the day.

V8 fusion sparklings are what I've been drinking. Bubbles without drinking soda.

Ice cold water with lemon or lime. I've actually been craving it.

I drink a diet pop in the AM, but water the rest of the day. I like to put a small amount of Crystal Light in mine to give it some flavor, and it's way easier to do that in work instead of bringing all sorts of fruit to dice up on my desk.

sheacox · November 2013

you can add all different kinds of fruits/veggies to water. I like to add mint and strawberries or mint and melon to my water. Or just plain lemon to my water.... I'll drink tea, occasionally diet pop, yes I will have coffee at times (gasp!)

Last pregnancy I bought a fruit infusion water pitcher. You can put any combo of fruit you want in the little pod and keep it in your fridge. It was super helpful when regular water would gross me out.

Water. With the ocasional dr pepper.

I was about to say JD and coke...DH is killing me though. He made sangria this week and according to him, it's pretty awesome. Ugh. I told him he'd have to make some more in about 6 months.

I just got one of these fruit infuser water bottles last weekend and its AMAZING. You can cut up lemon, cucumber, oranges, etc and it gives the water just enough flavor. Its great for work too.

Lemon water or La Croix, which is essentially carbonated water, some have flavors.

This is exactly what I do.

Milk seems to settle my stomach which is gross because I rarely drank it before. But whatever works right?

SC1977 · November 2013

Sparkling water and water.

We had friends over on Sunday and it was killing me to not throw back a few beers with them. Especially since every time I was drinking from my decoy empty can I'd smell the beer and it would taunt me.

I swear I'm not an alcoholic.

And later you can use it for teething

danakatiepfoltzer · November 2013

But for real , sparkling water with lemon slices! Yum!

TurtleMonsters · November 2013

Lemon slices in water or sparkling water, ginger ale, orange dry soda. coffee in a bunch of milk and until I ran out, cider.

hutsellwilson · November 2013

I've been drinking a ton of Izze Grapefruit. SO good, and you can get them for a semi-reasonable price at Costco! Most drinks have been too sweet for me (despite a HUGE pre-pregnancy sweet tooth), but the tartness of the grapefruit juice has hit the spot.

mayamitani · November 2013

@wdw1005bride you took the question out of my mouth! I LOVE plain water and have been feeling super dehydrated but the last few days it's been making me feel sick. I also don't really enjoy my morning cup of coffee anymore so those are two drinks I love out the door!

I've started drinking peppermint tea for the m/s and apple juice or lemonade in small doses. I find they help a lot, but I miss drinking liters and liters of water

mayamitani · November 2013

And all you sparkling water drinkers - doesn't it make you more bloated?! Sparkling water is one of my favorite things to drink but it's making me so uncomfortable now!

AmericanInOz · November 2013

I've been having 100% natural coconut water when I start to feel a headache coming on (dehydration I guess)
it's SO hydrating, makes me feel better right away

cyndelgrace · November 2013

Don't forget to recycle your La Croix boxes. Don't mind the bruise on his forehead. Sometimes the walls beat him.

And it has lots of potassium, great for 2nd and 3rd Tri leg cramps!

bzbear2 · November 2013

Sparking water with splashes of Juice. If you like sparkling water I highly recommend getting a sodastream! They are so easy to use and so much more affordable than buying all that sparkling water.

I am also drinking tea, mostly fruit herbal tea or chai.

I can't stomach anything else either. At the beginning I was drinking lots of non alcoholic beer but now the thought of it makes me queasy.

I don't feel bloated from it. In fact the opposite- it helps get the gas out via huge burps. Gross but then I feel better.
