How much water are you drinking per day?

Starfish113 · November 2016

Just curious! I'm forcing it on myself constantly and wondering how much everyone else is forcing down

musicinmysoul17 · November 2016

Probably not enough lol but at least a few bottles a day.

lfrank12 · November 2016

74-96 ounces a day. I just keep refilling my 24 oz water bottle. But I definitely need to aim more for 96+ on a daily basis

Gretchypoo · November 2016

90-100 fl oz/ day

die_frau · November 2016

I'm not keeping track but I would guess something like 3-4 quarts a day? I drink a LOT of water... I keep a 16 oz fun bottle at my desk and just keep refilling it. The plus side is that I get my water intake. The minus side is that I have to get up to pee what feels like every 2 seconds... like a 5 year old... or a pregnant woman!

You must pee soooooo much!!!

mrslittlemac · November 2016

Not enough... 30-40 ounces regularly, sometimes I can force more. I've never been a big water drinker, usually just feel "sloshy" and bloated when I drink more than that.

MLRocha · November 2016

I get about 64-80 oz in at work each day and probably another 48 oz at night. Luckily, this is a pre-pregnancy habit and my body is pretty used to it (I'm still only getting up once each night to pee).

I don't drink nearly as much on the weekends and I can tell right away (my lips are usually chapped/peeling by Monday).

poofwok · November 2016

At least 50 - 70 oz a day? I think it varies every day but that's generally what I drink in water. I also have a coffee and cranberry juice through out the day.

Xstatic3333 · November 2016

I'm a weirdo. I love water and am constantly thirsty. I don't keep track strictly but I'm definitely over 100 oz.

varimama · November 2016

I aim for 80oz a day but am probably closer to the 60-70oz range on weekdays. Weekends I really need to work on getting better, it's probably closer to 40-50oz on the weekends and I can definitely tell my body isn't happy with it. I like to have at least 1 glass of juice or milk in addition to the water each day.

lfrank12 · November 2016

@MLRocha I'm the same way. I actually feel bad or extra tired on the weekends since my body is used to so much during the week.

Starfish113 · November 2016

I definitely have the same problem with weekends!

leprechaunlady · November 2016

I drink a 1.5litre & a 500ml bottle per day in work then up to the same again at home in the evening. +1 for not drinking as much at the weekends though, i just find it easier to drink it sitting at my desk.

Patience7150 · November 2016

I strive for around 80oz, probably fall in the 60/70oz, but am having increasing charlie horses at night so am trying to get up over 80oz each day lately. The weekends I am terrible.

imalwaysme79 · November 2016

Definitely not enough. Must get better.

Sooooo much!

ColeBug89 · November 2016

At least 64 oz., sometimes more. I have a 32 oz. Walmart brand Yetti that I fill at least twice a day. I've never been a huge liquid drinker, so I think I'm doing alright considering how much I drank before I was pregnant.

I've also noticed it's easier for me to drink more during the week than on weekends! I think it might be because my cup is sitting right in front of me at my desk so it's a constant reminder to drink water.

FerForShort · November 2016

my goal is 100, but I fall much closer to 80. I have found that my swelling is SO much better when I drink like I should, so I'm trying.

scifichick09 · November 2016

I probably drink about 80 oz a day

Vastra · November 2016

+1 to being bad on the weekends! I'm great when I'm at work with my 24-oz bottle that I fill up at least twice a day. Then I have 2-4 more glasses at home. On the weekends I'm lucky if I remember to have four glasses. And I don't think the 4+ glasses of milk I practically mainline every day count as proper fluids.

Partyof6? · November 2016

Not nearly as much as I should be drinking I need to start working on that again. I am also having issues with constipation and annoying Braxton Hicks contractions which I realize could be helped by drinking more water!

jstringfellow19 · November 2016

I try to get 100oz a day. I use the same cup that is 20oz so my daily goal is to fill it at least 4 times at work and one or more at home.

leslie1331 · November 2016

My main pregnancy symptom has been insatiable thirst, so I've been drinking probably 100-120 oz a day. I have a 30 oz cup with a straw at work that I fill up at least 3 times. I notice if I have a straw I drink way more too.

lct2008 · November 2016

I have a 24oz tumbler that I make myself fill and drink at least 4 times in one day. But preferably 5.

WinchesterGirl · November 2016

I'd guess around 60? I am pretty bad about having a large tea in the mornings, and then also a glass of milk or OJ most days. So, plenty of liquids but not as much water as I'm supposed to.

ohstars · November 2016

My goal is 100oz. It depends on which of my sippy cups I'm using but if my cup is too small, I don't hit my goal. Cause I'm lazy.

BlondePeanut · November 2016

80 oz, at minimum 64oz.

glitterdragon-2 · November 2016

Somewhere around 80 oz. I don't keep track either but I do feel a lot better when I'm hydrated throughout the day.

scottipino · November 2016

I am the outlier here because I have low blood pressure. I drink at least 120-150oz per day. I actually drink 30oz before getting out of bed in the morning. This isn't new for me though. I drink most of it in the morning and early afternoon and trail off in the evening so I don't have to get up and pee a ton overnight.

MoonOverGoldsboro · November 2016

I don't keep strict track, but based on how often I refill my water bottle (20oz), I estimate that I usually hit about 100. As I mentioned in the symptoms thread, it's necessary to combat constipation. I pee hourly, at minimum...which is getting way more annoying now that I'm getting what I think might be sciatic pain down my left butt cheek. So hard to make it down the hallway to the restroom!

cantalopes24 · November 2016

I was drinking about a gallon a day (always been a big water drinker) but lately it's been giving me heartburn so it's been less than 100. I have been feeling like crap and I think I need to try to up my water intake.

tishb · November 2016

Not enough. Only 40-60 oz per day and I feel like poop because of it. I'm working on getting up into the 100 oz range

birdiejo · November 2016

Not enough!!!! But then somehow I wake up every 2 hours to pee.

Shawlls · November 2016

Not nearly enough! But I've started on my raspberry leaf tea!

NiceyMeany · November 2016

Does it vary drastically for anyone else? Some days, I'm thirsty all the time and I can't get enough water. Other days, I forget to drink much of anything. I'd say I vary from 30 to 200oz on any given day.

SawyerRichardson · November 2016

I love water so I usually drink a lot anyways. I'd say on average at least 100oz.

Me too

catmommac · December 2016

I keep track on my Fitbit app. I had 64oz as my goal (but usually went above it), but after a bladder infection I upped my goals to 80oz/day based on advice from my OB. I have a 24oz Tervis cup I just keep refilling. I also force myself to chose water when I eat because I usually drink a ton while eating. Average is 90oz a day.

pickle-chips · December 2016

@NiceyMeany same here. Most days I have no idea how much I actually drink, but I usually use the colour of my pee as a guide. Gross, I know.

NiceyMeany · December 2016

@floatingelephy I do the same thing. The other thing I try to pay close attention to is how often I get that "gotta pee" feeling but don't actually pee that much. I notice that my bladder gets a little irritated if I'm not drinking enough water. My doc has told me that recommendations for water consumption in pregnancy, like in regular life, are often grossly overestimated. She said that if you drink until you're satisfied and all your systems are moving efficiently, you're good to go.
