The drink more water thread

[NinjaKitty]

I've taken to buying 500ml bottles of water. I try and drink at least 3 a day + juice and beverages. That way I keep track of what I ve had. Not very environmentally friendly but it's the only way I know for sure.

I could also go forever without a drink, I've always thought if I drink more I'll pee more although I later found this to be untrue but still don't really drink. As much as the midwife tells me to drink more I can't. I can now manage about a pint glass of squash a day but thats about it. x

I have two cups of tea a day and am taking a litre bottle of water to work each day! I need to toilet all the time!!! I too try n drink that litre and have juice in the evening! Going to make some Ice this week as it's always nice cold!! Xx

i'm in the same boat mrsmc.

MW keeps telling me to up my water intake i'm really trying but struggling.

It does pay off when you start keeping yourself hydrated... in tri1 my urine had to keep being sent away as it always showed protein or something wrong with it. Luckily *touchwood* there never was anything wrong but ever since I've started drinking more my urine has always been clear at every single appointment. Just one less thing to worry about x

Speaking of - and massive TMI - but every time I have a MW appointment I am soooo embarrassed having to produce my morning wee. Eeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!

I had the dilemma this morning so planned ahead. Drank well before going to bed. Woke up for my obligatory 3am pee. Had some water by my bed so had a really good drink before going back to sleep. Woke up 4 hours later and did my sample. Sort of evened out my urine strength so I didn't have to present the horrible FMU. Apologies for TMI but I agree proper FMU can be pretty rancid.

I am the opposite - sometimes worry i'm drinking too much!!! I am constantly thristy and drink pint after pint of water! I must go through at least 3ltres a day. That's not including my daily drink of fruit juice and couple of cups of decaff tea!It's a nytmare tho as whenever i go out anywhere i am needing a drink, i take a bottle of water in my bag but always end up needing to buy more if i'm out for longer than an hour or two! Hubby says i do his head in!
It does get boring tho so a couple of times a day i add some cordial to liven it up a bit.
I have been the same as long as i can remember! Funny tho as i always suffer with really bad constipation even though i'm constantly drinking and i had a UTI in Tri1!!! xxx

ive been told im dehydrated and its why leo has his quiet days so been trying to drink loads, but its ice cold and my mum and oh moan that theres not enough room in the fridge for them (bottled water that is) was thinking of going for tap water with ice, but been told tap waters not good, so might jst have to invest in a water filter x

Niknaks, I use a water filter as i can't stand the chemically taste of tap water and it just takes the edge of it. xx
