Need more water

Hey ladies. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to drink more water. The braxton-hicks contractions are killing me. I tried to keep a timer and drink when it went off but that only worked for an hour before I got annoyed. I also tried labeling waterbottles with a time on them so I would remember to drink them by that time but that stopped working after two days. I am not a big water drinker in the first place so it has been tough so any suggestions would be helpful.

I drink half a bottle of water after I pee, everytime. Keep at least 3 bottles by my nightstand too. I drink flavored ice tea too, or make some herbal tea with honey and pour it over ice.

Have you tried drinking it with a lot of ice. I'm not a big water drinker either, but when I add ice, I can drink it just fine. Also, I try to keep crackers nearby. When I eat crackers I get thirsty and drink up all the water. Try keeping it in a large water bottle. That usually helps me.

I find it helpful to keep a really big water bottle by me at all times. If I have to keep running to the kitchen for more water, I get lazy and don't bother. Sometimes I also use a little lemonade to make a kind of lemon water with just a little bit of sweetness. For the most part I'm okay with water but every once in a while I want something more sweet so that helps.
