I drank water most of the time and would "treat" myself with other drinks every now and then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110855 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:09:14 +0000 Weagle 110855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told that those other drinks count, but like @Mrsbells: said, watch out for sugar and sodium content. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110852 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:07:44 +0000 Alivoo01 110852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also would assume it means strictly water water since the other beverages contain other ingredients like what @Mrsbells said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110847 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:03:34 +0000 heffalump 110847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always assumed that it had to be water. But I only drink water so I guess it wasn't an issue for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110845 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:02:40 +0000 winniebee 110845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think other drinks (other than coffee and soda) count....I never asked my OB though b/c I generally drink 100 oz of water a day anyways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110843 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 09:02:37 +0000 Mrsbells 110843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They count but its hard to tell how much water is in those drinks, plus some drinks also contain sugar and sometimes sodium that actually dehydrate your system </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-drinks-other-than-water-count#post-110838 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:59:42 +0000 mediagirl 110838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, we're supposed to be drinking a whole lot of water while pregnant, right? My question (and I'll pass the same onto my OB tomorrow) do other drinks count? Example, if I have orange juice and chocolate milk and milk in my cereal at breakfast - do those count towards my water intake for the day? Or do I still need to take in my 90+oz of water a day on top of that? </p>
