Gatorade or home made ice tea, what I like about home made ice tea is less sugar, cause you control what you put in. My ob and primary said since I'm not diabetic, avoid anything with artificial sweetness

I like to infuse my water with fruit...I'll add some cucumber or lemon...sometimes some strawberries or watermelon...I'm so bad when it comes to drinking water and this helps me alot..

100% juice and water mixed keep the calories low. I didnt mix it half and half and I gain 10 pounds in 5 days. They are very concentrated with sugars.  No Gatorade unless your dehydrated bc of the sugar and sodium. Milk is great 1% unless ur under weight than 2% talk with ur doctor.  Hope this helped

I have a thing for Sparkling water or anything from Crush.  its all caffenine free so no worries about having that as a soda some times.  I don't enjoy just plain water and it has to be SUPER cold for me to drink it. So i have orange or lemon slices added in there.   or Crush Cream soda... .its a litle funny.  my 2 yr old calls it mommy juice and daddy isn't allowed to touch it if there is some in the fridge.

Oh and I drink raspberry leaf tea with honey and cinnamon.  It actually helps tone your uterus for birth!  There's guidelines on how much to drink during each trimester online.

And I just Google juicing recipes for pregnancy and a bunch comes up!

I trink peppermint tea and bought myself some new exciting teas as well because I find it really hard to drink water. Also juice, but only one glass of that a day.
