What are you drinking (aside from water)?

michelle142 · July 2014

I can't drink plain water - my gag reflex will NOT allow it. At all. Ever.

I obviously know the importance of staying hydrated, but I'm struggling.

So, what are you drinking aside from water?

lynnlynn21 · July 2014

Good ol' Canada Dry Ginger Ale has helped me tons.

MissEm15 · July 2014

Lemon water & izze's are my lifesaver when the nausea hits.

michelle142 · July 2014

Funny thing is I can eat or drink anything else - aside from plain water. My throat just closes off! It's irritating.

mh269650 · July 2014

Try flavored seltzer. I love water so that's pretty much all I drink but when I'm missing my adult beverages or need to mix it up I do flavored seltzer. Throw a lime slice in there if you really want to get nuts! This will keep you hydrated without all the sugar/empty calories from juices, sodas...etc.

Frugal11 · July 2014

Fresh Juices!! Recently, its all been about a large chic-fila freshly squeezed lemonade!!

kefttsc · July 2014

Lemonade, watered down apple juice (also helps the constipation), ginger ale, sprite, root beer (a and w).

agm04 · July 2014

I'm loving the coconut and apricot la croix flavored (not sweetened) sparkling waters. Hoping they don't eventually turn into gag causers - so many of my safe foods have! I'm usually a water chugger and I'm struggling too.

CatLadyTX · July 2014

Once a day or so, I water down some juice.

LGator2484 · July 2014

Crystal light pink lemonade. I mix it with a little less water so it's a little on the sour side. My belly likes it.

Angeldcf · July 2014

water, ginger ale, chocolate milk, lemonade

krispy83 · July 2014

Seltzer with lemon or lime or a splash of cranberry juice. Also been drinking ICE which is a flavored sparkling water that is really good. I buy it by the case at Costco (they also have a Costco brand knockoff that is almost as good, so I switched to that).

StephanieLBerg · July 2014

I drink gatorade, powerade, lemonade, no sugar added grape juice, sugar free Fuze juice, and Sprite. I can drink plain water when I'm not nauseated, which is almost never now. If all I have to drink is plain water, I add a packet of crystal light to it, and I can drink as much as I want.

Amaryllismagic · July 2014

Be careful of powdered mixes with artificial sweeteners! Those are a no-no.

I've been drinking lemonade and watered down cran-grape juice when I get tired of water. On the days when I throw up and lose my appetite, I drink Gatorade to make sure I'm getting back some electrolytes. I can't do anything carbonated, it gives me AWFUL gas pressure after one or two sips. I also drink those chocolate protein drinks (store brand of Ensure or Boost) when I need a boost. It is so hard to drink enough water when I feel queasy, and if my stomach gets too empty then the cold water will make me throw up. COME ON 2nd TRI!!!!

aks01 · July 2014

Vitamin Water Zero mostly

mrsherr22 · July 2014

I love simply lemonade, Gatorade G2 grape, water with lemon, Sierra mist, basically anything a little sour. It sits well with my stomach. Good luck

lizjennings81 · July 2014

Flavored sparkling waters, orange juice, ginger ale. I'll have a GuS once in a while, too. Carbonated drinks seem to calm my nausea; I then try to have more water while I'm feeling okay.

chickyclg · July 2014

Really lemony lemon water. I gotta have it and it keeps the MS away.

ksgsmu · July 2014

Seltzer water , decaf ice tea occasionally, orange juice but it gives me heartburn!

mommaa1615 · July 2014

I pour the individual packets of crystal light in my water, gatorade, & gibger ale

mkrk227 · July 2014

I like strawberry kiwi propel, arnold palmer made with crystal light decaffinated tea, IBC root beer.

jaztastic · July 2014

Other plan water...Crystal light in my water when I just need a little flavor, apple juice and ginger ale

Oem617 · July 2014

Flavored sparkling water, some tea, chocolate milk (for a sweet treat), juice. But I can't get enough water these days.

kerrigrooves · July 2014

flavored Canada dry seltzer water, decaf iced tea that I brew and watered down lemonade. Trying to avoid diet soda

cinderella4282 · July 2014

Natural water makes me throw up......Perrier has been super helpful (carbonated water) and the half tea/half lemonade from Arnold Palmer - YYUUUUMMYY!!!!

expectingtofly · July 2014

zevia ginger rootbeer mmmmm! water additives like mio sport and crystal light drops, true lemon packets in ice water, ocean spray diet cran-pomegranate. I have a hard time with sugar its been making me feel sick so alot of juices and pop are out for me.

ems0523 · July 2014

Soda water - yum!!!

easton2131 · July 2014

ginger ale. df makes me good noncaffinated green tea with a bunch of honey. sip it warm and it helps me feel better

thegoodpotato · July 2014

Hot black coffee in the morning, and good ole tap-juice for the rest of the day. Thank goodness water goes down easy. It's been cooking hot here!

abc313 · July 2014

Milk, gatorade, sprite and definitely 100% juice Capri - sun's are a lifesaver!

Hollydoodle123 · July 2014

Omg I'm in the same boat! One of the things that MAKES me nauseous is water! I know it's weird but I've never been a water fan haha it does not taste good! I'm nervous becauae i know I'm not drinking enough water, I'll try to flavor the water with those squeeze bottle things. :-/ it's so hard!

ashercanasher · July 2014

Coconut water is really delicious!

annagrya · July 2014

Kombucha, I like any flavor with ginger.

LGator2484 · July 2014

@Amaryllismagic - thanks for the heads up about the artificial sweeteners in my crystal light mix. I feel like such a moron for not knowing this. There are so many rules to keep track of as a FTM! I've read What to Expect cover to cover a few times and I'm still learning new stuff every day. Anyway I guess I'll have to find some new beverages for the rotation too.

Mommy2CB · July 2014

I'm not typically a fan but I try to drink as much as I can. I like ice water.

elysek18 · July 2014

In the morning hot ginger and lemon tea (decaf) and the rest of the day water and chocolate almond milk

Pirriwin · July 2014

I mostly drink sparkling mineral water with slices of lemon in it. Avoiding anything with sugar, artificial sweeteners or too much caffein in it (I really think those are bad for baby to be honest). Apart from water I drink peppermint tea, roobios tea, homemade well-dialuted cordial and ice cold pasteurised milk. Admittedly a bit dull but a small price to pay.

smg2302 · July 2014

Our doctor okayed crystal light and sprite zero. As long as it's ice cold I can drink it.

mommadozer · July 2014

Juice, water and coconut water. The coconut water has been a blessing, it's a stool softener and has been helping me go more regular. I get the zico chocolate flavor so i can get my sweet fix at the same time.

riverbed · July 2014

I cannot get enough milk. In addition to that and water, coconut water, fruit infused water, herbal iced tea, and the occasional blood orange San pelligreno.

dreemkin84 · July 2014

Orange juice (trop50) and decaf ice tea
