How much are you ladies drinking?

[Lulu_Laroo]

I'm just wondering because my midwife said I'm probably not drinking enough fluids as I've been getting headaches.

How much on average do you drink in a day? And do you drink just water, juice or anything else?

tend's to be water and squash..... and i have between 7 - 11/12 pints a day..... plus 2 cups of tea :/ lol i was getting headaches cause i wasn't drinking enough at first but they're getting better now xx

I have a cup of decaf tea when I get up, then a glass of juice then probably a few pints of water at work, then when I'm home of an evening I have probably another pint of water but made into squash, and I then usually have a glass of milk and another decaf tea however I am trying to up my water each day as it reLly does make me feel much better

Ok, going by what you've both said I'm definitely not drinking enough! I tend to only have a drink with meals, terrible I know... I really must drink more!

I was told I wasn't drinking enough so now I have a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day, some milk and maybe a cuppa too... it takes a bit of getting used to... Some days it gets to 10-11am and I realise I've not had anything to drink (except the milk on my cereal!!). I also find drinking in the evenings means I'm up needing a wee much more in the night!!
Drink as much as you can... it really will help with any headaches.

HappifeetJo - thats exactly what I'm like, I'll get to a certain point in the day and think "Shit, i've not had anything to drink!" - for some reason I don't feel thirsty very often (even though in the first trimester I was constantly thirsty)

Im just the same, rarely have a drink in the morning, im 2 busy sorting Ethan out and time just passes really quickly and before u know it half the day has passed and ive had nothing! im terrible this time, i always drank plenty with Ethan and would only drink water. x

I'm not really a drinker either and before pregnant I would normally only drink with my meals, if at all!! Now I drink at leat 2L of water a day, maybe a cup of milk in addition to that on occasion and always a glass of pineapple or orange juice with my breakfast in the morning. And its all to keep those damn headaches away!! But I must say, that I've been feeling better since drinking more. x

Hey I called midwife as was worried about dizzyness and stuff she said I'm prob dehydrated. I normally have 2 cups of tea a day and maybe a glass or water or some other drink. I've now resigned myself to the fact that's just not enough fluid! So gunna take my water bottle into work today and try drink loads more. I've also bought smoothies too as I see them being part food part drink which should help! X
