The drink more water thread

[Lilelephant]

I need help lol I know I should drink more water as mw keeps telling me I do cos of my pee lol but I find it really hard i don't want to hurt baby cos I don't drink enough!
Am I the only one? I can go all day with no drink til I have my tea!

 

[pinkyprincess]

Screw that! Drink more wine!!

In all seriousness I have a decaff coffee in the morning, bring a big 750?ml bottle of water to work and make sure I drink it before I leave (If not more) then at home we've got about 5 or 6 bottles of water in the fridge at all times so I have 1 1/2 or 2 more before I go bed and always have a bottle next to me and have a glug when I get up for a wee

 

[Lilelephant]

Good idea I have 2 borked of evian that I alternate and refil now I put then in the freezer cos easier to drink when cold

I struggle to drink water unless its really cold. We have a water filter jug which we keep in the fridge. I can easily down a pint of that. )

 

[Lilelephant]

Yeah water is so much better cold!

I have a bottle of Appletise next to me which I am forcing myself to drink - anything to beat constipation!

 

[Lilelephant]

He he appletise always makes me go.

ISH a healthy option I found to help ease constipation is a pint of orange juice before bed. My bad option is bad food lol but I'm trying to be good with food now.x

I think what sealed my fate is that I lived on cheese. But that's off the menu now, it's bran, water, coffee, juice, veggies and all sorts of atrocities!

I'm not really a fan of water although I drank lots in the heat, been drinking lots of milk but I find I just get so thirsty all the time.

I have a big glass next to me at work, and some cordial - find plainwater just so boring, but don't mind drinking cordial!

If you keep a bottle near you, i'm sure you will find it easier, but I am really bad for it, I know I don't drink enough.

I used to be terrible with drinkign enough because I dont like fizzy drinks and I cannot drink water from a tap (weird I know) I can only drink it from a bottle so I bought loads of the big 1.5L bottles and they say to drink 1.2-2litres everyday so I just make sure I drink one of those big bottles and take it everywhere with you and keep taking sips from it and just set yourself the task of making sure the bottle has been drunk before the end of the day. Strange but it works xx

i have couple of decaf teas and couple of fresh juices a day then water rest of time! if i get bored of it or isnt cold enough i add a very slight drop of cordial that takes the edge off it. we have a water machine at work so i try and have 4 or 6 glasses a day some days im naughty though. you must try and drink more than that even if its only things u really like its better than being dehydrated x

OMG!! Thank god someone else has this problem. I never used to drink ANYTHING before I got pregnant, and trying to force stuff down your neck just makes me feel sick. Woke up in the middle of the night last night with a really bad pain in my lower back. Am hoping it was a muscle spasm but am worried it's a UTI from not enough drink!!! I have bottled water at work but really struggling to get through a 0.5 litre bottle at the moment. And I think the poo thing might be looming... lol!! My husband fed me figs last night in an effort to fend of the dreaded C word!!!!
