Haha I am 20weeks too and I drink alot of water and have seen a lot of bathrooms!
I hear ya ladies. I have increased my water intake greatly this month (didn't realize how much I should have been drinking)....I feel like I live in the bathroom!
i'm bad at 16 weeks i dont drink hardly enough water but what is weird is that my body is starting to crave a nice cold glass of water every now and then
I didn't know we were supposed to drink 64 ounces of water...all my doctor told me "Drink during the day until you urine is clear...", but I guess it takes 64 ounces for urine to be clear all day...
Is it odd that water makes me absolutely full. Once I drink a full glass I cant eat or drink anything else for at least 2hrs. I know this isnt healthy, but I have to make choices water or food, which do i choose?
They say that you dont have to drink just 64oz. of water but just fluids in general like juice or milk! So that helps!
Ahhh...okay so I can count milk. I drink a few glasses of that a day.
Miko, I just know that they recommend women to drink at least 6 glasses of 8 ounces of water which equals 48. I have just heard to drink between 48-64 ounces. :)
My doctors office told me if you dont get enough water, it can start cramping... And honestly it stopped my slight ones...
Here's what I do to get all my water:
Get some type of 32ounce cup- and fill it up half way. (I use the water fountain here at work-that way I get up and move around more too) Simply refill 3 more times-BOOM-you got your 64 ounces. Also-I use a straw-seems to make the water go down easier.
I find that using a big cup and filling it half way makes the amount of water less "intimdating" ya know :)
do you guys think that becuase I dont drink much water is the reason why I dont go alot to the bathroom. I am 8wks pregnant and go to the bathroom like 4 times and that is all
Last pregnancy in March, I cut down ice tea and soda mostly from my diet and replaced it with water. I find it easier if I buy the 16oz water bottles. I make sure I drink them everyday. Now this pregnancy I am thirsty all the time, so I find it a lot easier, and I drink maybe 5 of those 16 oz bottles and one cup of soda or ice tea.
I'm 32 weeks and I don't drink enough water ever. I drink like maybe three 8 oz glasses a day. I used to drink even less than that but I would sometimes get cramps and my doctor told me to drink more water. Well it worked to prevent the cramps. I know that in pregnancy they have you drink a lot of water because that is what keeps your amniotic fluid at the right level. I haven't had a problem with my fluid level... so that is good. I really need to concentrate on drinking more water. I heard from my sister that if you drink too much water you get bloated with water weight... maybe that is what was preventing me... the fear of looking like a balloon? :)
I absolutely can not drink 64 ounces of water a day so I try to mix it up a little. I really like Gatorade so I drink one 32 ounce bottle of Gatorade a day. Then, I only have to drink 32 ounces of water a day. My Dr. said that would be fine to do if I had to!!
