water

So hard for me to drink the 8 cups do any of you drink that plus more if so what keeps you to drink it. Some days i do then it makes me feel nauseated and when I dont drink enough my liver and kidneys give me problems and while I pee.

Gatorade ifs a good substitute. I only like water anyways so it's easier but try eating saltines. It'll make you really thirsty really fast. Easier to drink lots of water and also curbs morning sickness sometimes

I drink 2 nalgenes a day. Helps to have the measurements on the bottle. Also, La Croix sparkling water grapefruit, lemon and apple berry are my favorites!  And I still get the fizz I crave:)

You aren't the only one. I have the same problem. I have a big 32 oz cup that I try to drink At least two cups a day. And I will even switch to a small cup of decaf tea just for the flavor.

While pregnant your suppose to be drinking about 16 glasses of water to make up the fact you are prpducing more blood etc. Drinking as much water as possible should be a goal to keep in mind!

The only way I've been able to drink that is to add lemons to it. Some people add strawberries or cucumbers. The little flavor makes it easier to enjoy

I never drank that much water during either of my pregnancies. I drank juice and Gatorade. I even before or after my pregnancies can't drink that much water in one day.
