I'm the same way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-338243 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 11:45:13 +0000 aMohror 338243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm the exact opposite! I drank TONS of wanter when pregnant. Now that I'm nursing I am ALWAYS dying of thirst when I nurse, but don't have a hand for water and when I finish I totally forget! This is something I have been struggling with lately. I never have had to see yellow pee and now it's yellow all the time :( I even drank more before I was pregnant...I'm not sure what my deal is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330749 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:08:14 +0000 cranberryapple 330749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made it a point to drink plenty of water while the baby was baking, but once he was out, I remember only peeing once or twice a day, and I attributed that to nursing, but then people were telling me it was because I was dehydrated! =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330715 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:30:53 +0000 pastemoo 330715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330687 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:01:34 +0000 ladyfingers 330687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently pregnant and I'm ALWAYS thirsty!

I am not usually a good water drinker (I don't tend to get thirsty often) but have make a conscious effort to drink more during pregnancy. I definitely have days when I don't drink as much water as I know I should-- I am much better about my water at work than I am at home on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330381 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:34:40 +0000 matador84 330381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnant--I drank a ton. I'm constantly thirsty now and probably dehydrated, but too tired to constantly keep my water bottle full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330374 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:32:55 +0000 lavender 330374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try but I know I'm not getting enough while I'm nursing or while I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330350 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:15:46 +0000 wheres_c 330350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im drinking more only because the doctors told me to.

I'm pretty sure if I let myself I could eat an entire large pizza by myself...in one sitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330296 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:49:03 +0000 bushelandapeck 330296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am SO thirsty now that I'm nursing. I'm also way more hungry than I ever was when I was pregnant and I'm doing far less exercise now which is weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330287 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:45:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 330287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing, definitely. I get hit with an intense wave of thirst whenever I let down, so I keep a Nalgene bottle next to me and just start guzzling. I drank a lot when I was pregnant, too, but I struggled with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330286 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:45:17 +0000 mamabolt 330286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was way better at drinking water when I was pregnant, since I kept a water bottle at my desk all day. Now that I'm back at work I'm doing better again! But during maternity leave I was definitely not drinking as much as I should. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330279 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:41:15 +0000 KT326 330279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank more while I was pregnant. I really need to drink more now, I can tell when I pump that I'm not drinking nearly enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330253 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:28:16 +0000 Sweet T 330253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I drank at least 100 oz of water a day when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-more-water-while-you-were-pregnant-or-nursing#post-330249 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:26:31 +0000 Weagle 330249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank water constantly while pregnant, but I'm rarely thirsty now that I'm nursing.

Now that I am pregnant, I have a real hard time with drinking 8+ glasses of water a day!</p> <p>Did you drink more water while you were pregnant or nursing? </p>
