I think my blood ran pamplemousse while pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281427 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:17:44 +0000 Eko 2281427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>drinking seltzer water helps when I get really bored of still water. But it helps for me drinking out of a cup I like and using a straw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281385 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:50:53 +0000 mediagirl 2281385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of these helps me get my daily water intake in. It's 24oz so it holds a lot. I find I drink more from a bottle like this than through cups. </p> [attach=251/15/nu3vwt.600x371.2015-09-03_10-50-04.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281359 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:33:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2281359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that I need a tiny bit of flavor in order to continuously drink water all day. So I'll either put some fruit in my water (lemons or strawberries), or I'll put a splash of lemonade in there to just give it a little bit of something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281315 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 09:10:00 +0000 Keybee 2281315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for the tips! I think I will get some LaCroix today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281236 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:40:57 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2281236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Great idea about the powder!! I'm going to do that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281223 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:35:28 +0000 Alivoo01 2281223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dealing with this struggle right now! My body just thinks water is just so blah right now. I know I need to drink a ton more, but like you said, it's such a chore! </p> <p>Looks like I need to look into flavored water. I'm not a fan of sparkling water, but maybe my pregnant self will? I caught myself drinking more tea than I should, so I've been cutting it back . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281211 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:26:28 +0000 ms.line 2281211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink a lot of iced tea and LaCroix at home. I hate lugging drinks to work (I take public transit), so I just add packets of True Lemon or True Lime - I buy it in bulk on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281166 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:49:26 +0000 mfa_lady 2281166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the most natural thing, but you can get powdered Gatorade mix and just put a teeny bit in your water! I think regular Gatorade is pretty gross--too sweet and too strong--but a little pinch of the powdered mix will spice up a glass of ice water nicely. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281143 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:32:46 +0000 littlebug 2281143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning of my pregnancy, I had a really hard time drinking water. I got flavored sparkling water by the case and it helped a lot. Most of the ones I got (Wegman's brand) have no sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281139 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:27:42 +0000 fancyfunction 2281139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 14 weeks water is finally becoming more appealing to me - but it has to have ice in it. I've also been craving iced tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281119 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:12:06 +0000 MamaB 2281119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank a ton of LaCroix </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281107 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:59:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 2281107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a sodastream and even though I'm not pregnant, I now drink probably 3x the amount of water that I used to!! I also got a tall reusable plastic cup with straw from Starbucks that I take with me everywhere with cold seltzer water in it. I used to keep sliced lemons and limes on hand to squeeze into my seltzer but now I don't even need them... I love the plain seltzer water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281106 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:59:22 +0000 travellingbee 2281106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do water, La croix, coconut water ( as hydrating as Gatorade!) ice tea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281102 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:56:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2281102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When pregnant I can only drink ice cold water, any other temperature makes me nauseous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281098 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:49:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2281098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I also like to do 3/4 water or seltzer, 1/4 juice. Splash of cranberry juice with a squeeze of lime and I can almost convince myself it's a cocktail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281096 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:47:11 +0000 hellobeeboston 2281096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a struggle for me! I treat myself to SmartWater - I think it tastes amazing and it has electrolytes. I do a lot of flavored seltzer, 3/4 water and 1/4 lemonade is also great. </p> <p>My first pregnancy I did drink a lot of Gatorade, but yeah, extra calories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281093 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:42:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2281093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink water and sometimes lemonade (full of sugar though). And coconut water, especially when it's hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281084 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:30:13 +0000 Nutella 2281084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you try sparkling water? A bit different to regular old water... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281077 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:56:47 +0000 SLR 2281077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plain water and seltzer water haven't been very appealing to me so I've been doing some fruit/infused water. Strawberry or strawberry basil, cucumber, pineapple,....whatever! The Sobi Fuji Apple Pear drink is also really good, although it does have stevia. </p> <p>Also, maybe eat some watermelon. I find it pretty hydrating and less of a chore than chugging down another glass of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281058 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 03:04:36 +0000 Ms. RV 2281058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried putting fruit in your water? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281045 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:50:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2281045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just drink water like crazy! It helps if I drink it through a straw. I also like Mio water enhancer (the lemonade flavor, I don't like any of the other ones but the lemonade is delicious!) But it does have artificial sweetener in it. Also, I'm an ice cruncher so I chew a lot of ice, too.</p> <p>La Croix sparkling water is a favorite too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stay-hydrated-when-pregnant#post-2281035 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:15:53 +0000 Keybee 2281035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drinking water is starting to feel like a chore, I need so much to stay hydrated! We've got a few more weeks until the heat subsides, I feel like I'll need less then.<br /> What do you drink all day? I do a little tea, but mostly water. I've got to avoid anything with lots of calories and sugar. Any suggestions? </p>
