Thank you girls I just sometimes can't drink a lot of water because I get really sick from my acid reflix. But its good knowing that its not a bad thing.

I don't know about your baby 'not growing' from low water intake... you get water out of a lot of foods your eat, especially fruit.  But one of the reasons you should drink lots of water is because it flushes out lots of toxins in your body. The less toxins in your body, the less get passed to baby. All body types are different, I don't think I would worry not showing yet at 5 mo. Can you feel the baby moving yet? As for the water guideline... some health nuts says you should drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. For instance, if you weigh 200lbs, you should be drinking 100oz of water throughout the day. I have a big cup that the hospital gave me after my last pregnancy that has oz measured out on the size so I know how many times I need to fill it up to get the recommended amount (or close to it).

I didn't really show until about 7 months, some just take longer to show! People didn't even notice I was pregnant until about 32-33 weeks
