I also always want things to be ice cold. DH got me a Yeti this summer and it's been a lifesaver. Today I"m sipping on a VitaminWater XXX flavor and ice water. I need to shop for some juice tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785444 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 15:43:15 +0000 cake2017 2785444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Gatorade does the same for me too! Weird! No idea why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785443 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 15:41:41 +0000 MrsADS 2785443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd cranberry sounds like something I might be able to stomach, I will have to try some cranberry juice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785426 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 14:48:49 +0000 jhd 2785426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: that’s interesting that the Gatorade helped your supply. I will have to keep that in mind. I haven’t had Gatorade in a while and we usually get G2 because I find it less sweet.</p> <p>@SweetiePie: my mom gave me some ginger tea and I couldn’t get past the color of it 😂😂 I guess I could put it in a travel mug. I was a citrus fiend the first time around but even with the Prilosec a few bites of pineapple last week caused all sorts of discomfort. Pregnant bodies are weird. ;)</p> <p>@MaryM: I will check out the ocean spray flavors. They always have good combinations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785338 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 11:19:22 +0000 gingerbebe 2785338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: FWIW, I literally always had Gatorade in my fridge from pregnancy through weaning because it helped my supply for some reason (even though I was drinking 1-2 gallons of water a day, I saw a marked increase of milk on days I drank Gatorade/Powerade). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785334 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 11:10:11 +0000 SweetiePie 2785334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Oh yeah, forgot about coconut water. That helped too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785333 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 11:09:12 +0000 SweetiePie 2785333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: First tri I had aversions to everything including water. I went through a phase though where ice cold lemonade was good. And I also liked iced tea and tried to do ginger when I could (ginger beer, not ginger ale, and ginger iced tea). My OB said that anything is better than nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785308 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 10:08:54 +0000 MaryM 2785308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Have you tried the new cranberry pineapple juice from ocean spray? Sounds odd, but it's really good! </p> <p>I gave up soda and coffee in the first tri, so I figured adding in some juice wasn't going to hurt too much (sugar wise). Plus I had some issues with constipation and was told juice could help that a little. I couldn't stomach prune, but would have apple or cranberry (usually half juice, half water) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785297 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 09:27:44 +0000 avivoca 2785297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that helped my morning sickness was a 22 oz fountain coke from Speedway (it HAD to be Speedway). Unfortunately, I had to quit that when I got GD, so then it was ice cold water with lemon in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785296 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 09:25:10 +0000 jennlin821 2785296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gatorade was my go to during pregnancy and during the fourth trimester! I prefer the powdered versions, and then I could make a jug or a glass as needed. </p> <p>I also figured out that what I drank out of mattered. I used to always carry around a Nalgene bottle, but since I switched to a camelbak w/ straw, I drink 5x as much! For some reason I drink more through a straw. I have 4 bottles, two for work and two for home. Each of these are designated for plain water and the other for juice/Gatorade/etc. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785287 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 09:07:33 +0000 Truth Bombs 2785287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lemonade mixed with water was the only thing I could consistently get down when I had morning sickness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785242 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 23:08:15 +0000 periwinklebee 2785242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miso soup is my magic bullet for nausea. It really helped on the occasions I could't keep liquids down, and was helpful for settling my stomach in general. I just buy miso paste and mix a bit with hot water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785229 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 21:20:30 +0000 nana87 2785229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank so much coconut water when I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785227 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 21:16:33 +0000 summerfruit 2785227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My fave drink is cold water. Carbonated water (+/- flavors) can also be tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785211 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 20:29:03 +0000 jhd 2785211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: i haven't seen the mango flavor. i will check for that.</p> <p>@erinbaderin: i love cranberry juice maybe that will work in some regular water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785210 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 20:27:49 +0000 jhd 2785210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: sorry you are struggling too. we did a whole30 back in the spring and had basically been drinking water only and some coffee. i can't handle coffee or carbonation just now. i'm still drinking water but i need some other options to change things up. i may just have to browse the juice aisle at the grocery store tomorrow and grab whatever sounds good in the moment. i guess another good option would be fruits &amp; veggies with high water content. i did some juice based smoothies about a month ago when we were traveling but that sounds gross now lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785205 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 20:03:12 +0000 MrsADS 2785205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd I am 11 weeks pregnant and having the same problem, I have been so dehydrated because I'm having major aversion to most drinks, including water :crying: Pre-pregnancy I drank a ton of water all the time so this sucks. And I already have really bad constipation and not being able to drink a lot makes it sooo much worse.</p> <p>I find I can tolerate certain things in spurts. For a while, it was cold diluted apple juice, but now I can't really drink it. Right now I am sipping strongly flavored seltzer water, or seltzer with a bit of OJ. I was also drinking dilute lemonade for a while, I can't do that. I am also drinking some Constant Comment (orange) tea in the morning. I can't drink sodas, plain water, or Gatorade right now.</p> <p>I haven't found a great solution. I feel your pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785203 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 19:56:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2785203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to was 1/3 cranberry juice, 2/3 sparking water, with some lime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785201 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 19:17:52 +0000 gingerbebe 2785201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I also really liked Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, and Grape Powerade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785199 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 19:12:33 +0000 jhd 2785199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I will have to try some Gatorade over ice </p> <p>@Littlebit7: I like those little squirt bottles too. I should check those out again</p> <p>@Mama Bird: I miss coffee! I have the worst reflux ever right now and I just can’t handle coffee :bummed: </p> <p>@Mrs. D: crystal light is a good idea too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785193 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 18:27:44 +0000 Mama Bird 2785193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold soda (I did try to go for the decaf stuff) and very weak coffee. I couldn't drink plain water because if there was any tiny little odor, I'd pick up on it. The coffee masked it very nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785191 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 18:19:37 +0000 petitenoisette 2785191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: yea, I also drank a lot of Gatorade in the first trimester when plain water was gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785188 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 18:01:11 +0000 Littlebit7 2785188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the mio and Powerade squirt mini bottles of concentrate to liven things up<br /> If I plan ahead...I really like fresh mint and some lime slices left in a cold jug of water in the fridge. It's like a light mojito. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785186 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:50:56 +0000 gingerbebe 2785186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gatorade. Much gatorade. Especially the red Gatorade and blue Powerade from the gas station fountains with crushed ice. Mmmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785176 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:16:56 +0000 Mrs. D 2785176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to stick to water and milk. But I allow myself one coke a day (I have never liked coffee and RARELY drink tea, so this is my caffeine fix).<br /> I'm only one month in, but with DD I used to mix crystal light into my glasses of to keep me going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785175 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:14:50 +0000 jhd 2785175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: a straw definitely helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785172 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:11:24 +0000 lioneyes 2785172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a splash of pineapple juice (trader joe's) or cranberry; fresh lime juice (or the bottled key lime), and seltzer. with a straw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-drinks-to-stay-hydrated#post-2785170 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:08:10 +0000 jhd 2785170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having trouble staying hydrated this week. What are some of your favorite drinks?</p> <p>So far today I've had ice cold water, a cup of hot decaf tea, and some lingonberry syrup from IKEA mixed in water.</p> <p>Nothing sounds good to me right now. :silly: It's like pregnancy food aversions have now extended to drinks as well. </p>
