water makes me sick any advice?

I really need advice on this one.. water makes me so sick the smell thought or taste of it has me singing to the porcelain gods so... is that bad for baby? I'm 12 weeks 3 days and I try to make up for it with OJ, Gatorade, milk, kool-aid, or juices but is this OK for baby? Or should I stomach water as long as possible?

The only thing I could keep down for a few weeks was ice and dr pepper. My dr didn't want me having more than 3-4 a day but said it was better than nothing. Can you keep down any solids or is it just water you're having a hard time with?  If its everything I would ask your dr for some meds to possibly help. I had to take zofran constantly from around 7weeks-20 weeks and I'm 37 weeks now and still have to occasionally take it. But it was awesome to have some relief.

Juice isn't really that great for you. And no I literally mean half water, half gatorade. You really need the water to keep from getting dehydrated. Dehydration can lead to preterm labor. I also think calling your Dr for some other advice on this would also be helpful.

I tried propel and flavored water and it made me sick gatoraid we have powder packets and its for a 20 oz container and I use a 34 oz cup would that be watered down enough? And when I say juices I mean like orange juice lemonade limeade but home made w real lemon and limes and little bits of sugar

gatoraid and juice etc isnt really good for you as it contains an insane amount of sugar,  why not try herbal teas like pepperment/spearment and chamomile,, ginger and lemon etc and  etc you can sweeten them abit with a teaspoon of honey or alternativley have hot water with a bit of lemon and some honey in it, or if that fails buy some cordial and just put enough in to take the water tast away

Stay away from the juices, and crap like that. You will get dehydrated still. Have you tried propel? That will help. Or do half gatorade and half water. It will taste like gatorade still.
