Before I was pregnant, I might drink a cup of water a day. Now I'm drinking up to 90oz a day! Such a huge change.
How much water do you drink a day?
-
I take in around 64 oz most of the time. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm more diligent in getting my 8 cups or more a day.
-
I've always been a huge water drinker, but now that I'm pregnant and ALWAYS thirsty, I drink close to a gallon a day.
-
I probably drink around 60 oz a day now that I'm pregs. I've never been a huge water drinker but this pregnancy is making me SOOO thirsty.
-
I used to be horrible about drinking enough water - some days I'd get home and realize the only thing I'd had to drink was coffee - eek! My New Year's resolution was to be better about water and I've been doing my 8 glasses since, so far so good.
-
I can't think in ounces at all, so I've no idea what kind of quantities you guys are referring to! The standard 8 glasses advice amounts to about two litres or 8-ish pints, so I know I don't drink anywhere near enough, and with two babas dancing on my bladder I can't pee anymore than I already do! I'm hoping to BF though so I'll obviously have to increase it significantly for that.
-
Oy I only drink water but I still don't drink nearly enough. I'd say I probably average 5-6 glasses a day. For some reason I find it really hard to drink the recommended 8 glasses. And I cannot imagine using the bathroom more often then I already do. I guess I'm just not a thirsty person? Great job though!
-
Not enough, there are some days when I realize I've only had coffee to drink all day :(. If I remember my giant water bottle in the mornings, I do well because I make myself sip from it all day. But if I forget it I may not drink any water at all. I really need improve this area of my life!!
-
I drink at least 100 ounces. Usually between 120-150.
-
I'm trying to drink around 72-96oz of water per day. I have a 24oz camelback bottle that I just keep refilling.
-
All I drink is water. But I still don't drink a lot of it.
-
Pre-pregnancy I drank quite a bit - I probably drank 3-4 bottles a lot, plus water with meals.
Now, I drink even more....I am constantly filling my water bottle. But I'm not really sure how many ounces.
-
I probably drink around 150 oz a day now. With breast feeding I feel sooo thirsty all the time! It's to a point where I can chug a 32 oz of water at a time from my water bottle. It's crazy.
-
i don't think i drink enough, but trying to drink at least 8 cups. now that i bought water bottles, i can see that i need to drink at least 4 bottles and i'm good to go haha.
-
@artbee: Me too!! I tend to drink more when I'm eating or even taking meds, but I can't seem to drink water by itself!
-
I usually go through a 2 liter bottle of water a day ( about 67 oz )
-
I have a 24oz cup at work that I fill up at least 5 times when I'm there, I drink well over 100 oz a day (always have.) I pay more attention now that I'm pregnant. I feel like I don't do as well on the weekend though, so I have to try to remember to drink as much!
-
@Alivoo01: I'm never thirsty until night time, when my body realizes that I haven't had enough water all day. But then if I drink a lot I have to pee all night long.
-
The same amount as before? About 8 glasses, maybe 10?
-
I don't drink enough.
-
my friend who gave birth to full-term twins was told to drink at least 8oz of water every waking hour during her pregnancy. she thinks it's the reason why she went full-term so i'm doing the same...drinking a minimum of 128 ounces of water per day - i usually drink a lot more than that. if i can prevent pre-term labor and a NICU stay by doing something as simple as staying hydrated, then i'm all for it.
-
Around 100 oz per day - more if I notice my hands or feet are starting to swell.
