Drinking water is starting to feel like a chore, I need so much to stay hydrated! We've got a few more weeks until the heat subsides, I feel like I'll need less then.
What do you drink all day? I do a little tea, but mostly water. I've got to avoid anything with lots of calories and sugar. Any suggestions?

I just drink water like crazy! It helps if I drink it through a straw. I also like Mio water enhancer (the lemonade flavor, I don't like any of the other ones but the lemonade is delicious!) But it does have artificial sweetener in it. Also, I'm an ice cruncher so I chew a lot of ice, too.
La Croix sparkling water is a favorite too!

Have you tried putting fruit in your water?
-
Plain water and seltzer water haven't been very appealing to me so I've been doing some fruit/infused water. Strawberry or strawberry basil, cucumber, pineapple,....whatever! The Sobi Fuji Apple Pear drink is also really good, although it does have stevia.
Also, maybe eat some watermelon. I find it pretty hydrating and less of a chore than chugging down another glass of water.

Could you try sparkling water? A bit different to regular old water...
-
I drink water and sometimes lemonade (full of sugar though). And coconut water, especially when it's hot.
-
This is a struggle for me! I treat myself to SmartWater - I think it tastes amazing and it has electrolytes. I do a lot of flavored seltzer, 3/4 water and 1/4 lemonade is also great.
My first pregnancy I did drink a lot of Gatorade, but yeah, extra calories.
-
Oh I also like to do 3/4 water or seltzer, 1/4 juice. Splash of cranberry juice with a squeeze of lime and I can almost convince myself it's a cocktail.
-
When pregnant I can only drink ice cold water, any other temperature makes me nauseous.
-
I do water, La croix, coconut water ( as hydrating as Gatorade!) ice tea
-
We got a sodastream and even though I'm not pregnant, I now drink probably 3x the amount of water that I used to!! I also got a tall reusable plastic cup with straw from Starbucks that I take with me everywhere with cold seltzer water in it. I used to keep sliced lemons and limes on hand to squeeze into my seltzer but now I don't even need them... I love the plain seltzer water!

I drank a ton of LaCroix
-
At 14 weeks water is finally becoming more appealing to me - but it has to have ice in it. I've also been craving iced tea.
-
In the beginning of my pregnancy, I had a really hard time drinking water. I got flavored sparkling water by the case and it helped a lot. Most of the ones I got (Wegman's brand) have no sugar.
-
Not the most natural thing, but you can get powdered Gatorade mix and just put a teeny bit in your water! I think regular Gatorade is pretty gross--too sweet and too strong--but a little pinch of the powdered mix will spice up a glass of ice water nicely.
-
I drink a lot of iced tea and LaCroix at home. I hate lugging drinks to work (I take public transit), so I just add packets of True Lemon or True Lime - I buy it in bulk on Amazon.
-
I'm dealing with this struggle right now! My body just thinks water is just so blah right now. I know I need to drink a ton more, but like you said, it's such a chore!
Looks like I need to look into flavored water. I'm not a fan of sparkling water, but maybe my pregnant self will? I caught myself drinking more tea than I should, so I've been cutting it back .

@mfa_lady: Great idea about the powder!! I'm going to do that
-
Thank you for the tips! I think I will get some LaCroix today!
-
I've found that I need a tiny bit of flavor in order to continuously drink water all day. So I'll either put some fruit in my water (lemons or strawberries), or I'll put a splash of lemonade in there to just give it a little bit of something.
-
One of these helps me get my daily water intake in. It's 24oz so it holds a lot. I find I drink more from a bottle like this than through cups.
-
drinking seltzer water helps when I get really bored of still water. But it helps for me drinking out of a cup I like and using a straw.
-
Another vote for LaCroix. I think my blood ran pamplemousse while pregnant!
