stupid question maybe

[nena0802]

so I know when pregnant we are suppose to drink a lot of water, but for whatever reason i dont find water appealing to me. I hate to drink it, but I still do. if I put slices of lemon or orange does it mess with the water? I love lemon water, but not normal water. I know this sounds stupid, but please answer.  will it it still be healthy?

I'm the same way but with milk.. I hate milk. But I know I need to drink it, when I drink it I feel like im drinking creamy fat

Yeah you'll find that u only want what ur baby wants i live off Sunkist and fruitcup cordial it just all depends on what makes ur bubba happy they say to drink a lot of water but the truth is u just have to keep ur self hydrated that's why the say to keep ur fluids up and drink alot of water

[actright]

I have to drink my water super cold! But yeah its fine to drink it like that.

Adding fruit is a great way to flavor your water and add some extra vitamins too, some people really like cucumbers in their water because of the very subtle flavor. Gatorade and vitamin water taste good but they are are FULL of sugar and/or salt - just try to keep the sugar intake down. Those crystal light packets or the squirt flavor stuff are better because you can control how much you add and not use as much, just enough to give it some taste.

Trust me girl I got pregnancy brain wicked bad to lol. I love apple juice but got told no because of all the sugar. If I wanted it they say to dilute it, its better for ya. You get your water bit a little flavor with it. :)

I had the same problem ! I tried every flavored water out there ! What's funny is now at 5 months I find myself drinking water willingly I guess when the baby wants some water trust me without knowing it just happens

Yes water is water.  Lemon is perfectly fine.

Sorry I didn't mean to put same doctor lol i ment same problem

[kcarter2498]

I feel it. I buy the flavor drops and crystal light to put in my water sometimes. I try to drink both flavored and regular.

[nc_massgirl1990]

Mikki1989...have your Gatorade but dilute it. Half water half Gatorade thats what I got told to do with some drinks.

[cathyy23]

I think it should. or you can try vitamin water I have the same doctor and my doc says its fine

[nc_massgirl1990]

My doctor wants me to drink LOTS of water but I to hate too, I got told to put lemon or some flavor stuff in it to make it taste better.  You can usually find it in the mix drink section the packet flavor stuff. Try that, it wont changed the water just add flavor to help us out in wanting to drink it. Hope that helps :).

[mikki1989]

I don't like plain water either all I want lately is gatorade but I worry about the sugar

[roccosm0m]

My doctor suggest I drink water, milk and fruit juice. Water doesn't have to be all you drink. I know your struggle

[SummerMom2Be]

Yes it is still healthy
