How much water are you drinking in pregnancy?
I feel like I drink *so* much, but haven't kept track until the past few days. Today, I have drank 5 large glasses of water by now (1:30). Also had a cup of OJ. I'll probably have 3-4 more glasses this afternoon and then a few glasses this evening (plus milk). I'm not sure what this comes out to in terms of oz. though because I'm not drinking out of a nalgene or water bottle.

I've been trying to drink at least 72oz a day...I just keep refilling my camelbak bottle. I do feel constantly thirsty though, so it's not actually hard to keep drinking!

Wait, I just checked the plastic cups I'm drinking from and they say 12 oz. So 84 oz while at work and more in the evening - so I'm drinking at least 100 oz a day. Wow, that's a lot!
@hilsy85: there's the constant thirst, but also the constant peeing that comes as a consequence of drinking so much!

Nowhere near enough! Just having a large glass of orange squash now, had a glass of grapefruit juice this morning and a couple glasses of milk today, but I'd say only one glass of plain water yet, and it's 6.38 pm...but we're going to the cinema tonight so I should manage a pint bottle of water with my popcorn there.

I drink anywhere from 120-150 ounces/day. I used to drink more when I was pregnant!

About 80-100oz a day depending if I drink water when I get home or not. I don't count anything other than water as water so, if I drink soda or juice or something, it doesn't count towards the water count.
It's great to drink out of something you know the size of so you can track it like that! I drink out of a 24oz Tervis Tumbler so....I know if I drink 3 refills of it, I'm pretty much set for the day.

I'm bad and am probably not getting enough per day. I've battled with morning sickness and nausea throughout my pregnancy, and water usually makes it worse. Also, baby is sitting very low, right on top of my bladder, so every time I drink a few sips of water I end up needing to pee. I'm really trying to be better about upping my fluid intake though. I also try to eat a lot of fruit b/c I know I at least get some fluids that way...
