It felt better to do that than feel yucky from not about water. You will find what works for you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004883 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 22:18:32 +0000 sarac 2004883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink however much I need to keep from feeling bloated - if I cut back, I feel awful. I also drink at least 100 oz a day, so there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004612 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 17:37:41 +0000 dc yoga bee 2004612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, yesterday I had 32 ounces of water, and had to get up 3x during the night to use the restroom (and I stopped drinking 1.5hrs before bed) :shocked: . I think different bodies must have different needs. There is no way my tiny bladder could handle half my body weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004420 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 15:26:14 +0000 mfa_lady 2004420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggled with this a LOT in the first and second trimesters. I felt guilty that I didn't think I was ever getting enough water. But you know what? You do what you gotta do. Just try your best! When the third trimester rolled around I was thirsty ALL THE TIME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004412 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 15:18:28 +0000 Ginabean3 2004412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry around a 20 oz camelbak and refill it 2-3x a day! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004407 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 15:15:19 +0000 cascademom 2004407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not enough. I carry a 20oz bottle with me that I refill often. I'll take it with me to the party we're attending. I feel like I should take a roll of toilet paper there since I use so much. My last pregnancy, I remember drinking more. This time around, it's a little harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004385 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:56:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 2004385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink over 100 oz a day when I'm at work, however I really struggle on the weekends and tend to grab other items instead of water and then can tell I'm getting dehydrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004373 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:49:06 +0000 macintosh 2004373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not enough, I'm sure! Plain water makes me nauseous still. Thank goodness for my soda stream! I can't drink it unless it's VERY bubbly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2004369 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 14:47:05 +0000 buttermilk 2004369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just downloaded an app called Waterlogged that lets you log how much water you drink each day and sends you reminders to meet your goal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003910 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:56:59 +0000 krispi 2003910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plain water, I try to drink at least a couple of large glasses.

I'm trying to drink 5-6 big glasses a day, plus other drinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003395 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 22:14:36 +0000 MapleMoose 2003395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I aim for 128 ounces (a gallon) throughout the day and often drink more, like today: 132 oz so far. I use an app on my phone to track consumption and drink from my Camelbak so I know how much it holds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003326 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 21:09:00 +0000 dc yoga bee 2003326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: say whaaaa!?! I've always heard 64-96ounces! 208 sounds really unrealistic!</p> <p>@mrs. jump rope: I'm struggling to finish this last bit of my second 16 ounce bottle so I can go to bed! I feel like I'm in a water coma!</p> <p>@dolphin: LOL! Whenever I try to drink some water to see if I'm really thirsty and not hungry I get nauseaus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003320 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 20:55:52 +0000 blackbird 2003320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: omg thinking about all that water sloshing in my stomach makes me feel sick!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003301 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 20:40:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2003301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't great at drinking enough but still had to pee a lot!

I do best when I have my 32 oz. water bottle with me. If I have to keep refilling an 8 oz. glass it's game over. In the early pregnancy days when I wasn't so thirsty, I'd dilute Gatorade with water to get some flavor and electrolytes in me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003234 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:37:50 +0000 littlejoy 2003234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't see a choice for "a shit ton", so I chose 10+. I drank SO much water when I was pregnant &amp; breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003223 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:33:09 +0000 Greentea 2003223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought pregnant women are supposed to drink 13+ I always drank as much as I could! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003162 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:38:07 +0000 daisyfay 2003162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink three 24-ounce bottles of water at work each day, then have a couple of glasses of sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice in the evenings. I actually used to drink more water before I was pregnant, but I just can't deal with peeing that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003128 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:16:31 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2003128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I just drank them lol I was so thirsty, I guess I got used to it?! I usually drank them at once, so I guess that's considered chugging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003107 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:05:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2003107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: it's actually annoying. I don't know why I'm so thirsty! I agree with others that lemon or lime carbonated water helped when I didn't want much in the first tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003106 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:05:32 +0000 PawPrints 2003106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Ugh the bathroom trips are endless. I would say I'm looking forward to being done with those once the baby is here, but we all know that bathroom trips will just be replaced by nighttime feedings. I guess it's training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003101 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:01:34 +0000 dc yoga bee 2003101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: whoa!!! We just bought me a case this morning, and I'm looking at it wondering how in the world did you drink that much! Do you have set times during the day? Chug them? I've had almost two 16oz bottles today so far :bummed: </p> <p>@PawPrints: I get really thirsty at night, but man I hate getting up every 5 minutes to go to the bathroom!</p> <p> @Mrs. Sunshine: wow! It may take me days to drink that much lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003099 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:01:03 +0000 Anya 2003099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much. I went through a phase where water made me queasy and it was a struggle, but now I can't get enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003094 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 17:58:48 +0000 MrsBucky 2003094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It totally depends on the day. For some reason cold water is delicious to me now so that makes it easier, but I had a tiny bladder prepregnancy so that makes it harder, hah. That plus a job with 6-8 hours of back to back meetings doesn't help! For some reason having a straw cup to drink from dramatically increases my water intake- I love my Tervis tumbler with a straw lid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2003008 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 17:03:26 +0000 PawPrints 2003008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been counting ounces, but I'm drinking a LOT. I have to have a water glass or water bottle with me at all times or I get thirsty/cranky really quickly. I get seriously thirsty at night - it's not unusual for me to drink an entire quart-sized water bottle during my nighttime wake-ups alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2002980 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:45:54 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2002980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink around 84 to 120 oz. And I'm still basically thirsty all day. I'm never not thirsty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-while-pregnant#post-2002974 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:44:53 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2002974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I don't drink all that much water. But my OB hasn't seemed concerned at all and baby girl seems to be doing fine in there. </p>
