During my pregnancy I would try to drink a lot of water but I would have to really force myself and most times would not drink as much as I intended. Now I am constantly thirsty and seem to just guzzle it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-593095 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:49:51 +0000 SleepyMonkey 593095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i drink so much water every day, and am still amazed at how little i pee. if i don't drink something every hour, my lips start to feel chapped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592918 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:25:20 +0000 ladyfingers 592918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It was easy to remember at work but I was always bad remembering in the weekends when st home. Now that I'm home all the time I have to work hard to drink enough, especially because I'm always nursing/tending after LO and have no free hands. I try to down a whole glass whenever I do remember, just to keep my intake up. And I'm always thirsty I just can't physically keep up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592908 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:02:49 +0000 littleveesmommy 592908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank so much water PP while BFing that people often commented on it. I can down a whole Chinese soup take out container amount at a time and at my max, I was going through one of those an hour! (I don't drink out of those but my mom made me boil water PP for drinking and we ran out of places to hold all the water I drank daily...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592907 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:00:11 +0000 bpcmarj 592907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even close. When I was pregnant I was working in an office woth a water dispenser. I had a constant supply of fresh, cold water. I drank a gallon a day! Now, I have a hard time remembering to drink unless I have a big bottle by me, usually of selzer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592876 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:32:22 +0000 LeighPF 592876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was born in May and I had to line up one liter bottles of water all ready to go in order to get enough water into me, I was drinking so much while tandem nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592375 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:30:23 +0000 rattles 592375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm far more thirsty than I was when pregnant, but my hands are full and I'm more distracted now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592271 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:51:06 +0000 duckduckkristen 592271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

I definately drink alot more coffee now than when I was pregnant :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592154 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:21:03 +0000 LuLu Mom 592154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I drank a ton when pregnant as I had constant cotton mouth, but after giving birth it went away and I had to force myself to drink more water when breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592143 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:18:58 +0000 autumnlove 592143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, nursing and pumping made me so thirsty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592132 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:15:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 592132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. I had a lot of trouble keeping up with the water during pregnancy, but I started guzzling it like it was my job after he was born. It's evened out some now, but at the beginning I was painfully thirsty all of the time. I couldn't nurse unless I had a full Nalgene bottle beside me, and it would be empty by the end of the session. Now I still have a bottle beside me but I'll only drink about half of it during each session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-drink-more-water-pp-than-during-preg#post-592000 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:24:56 +0000 mrsjyw 592000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do for sure! It's a physical thirst that drives me to drink a TON (bfing). Whereas during preg I had to remind myself to drink water! </p>
