What else can I do to keep hydrated besides drinking alot of water?

[Tashi863]

I drink nothing but water. No juice, soda, or coffee yet I'm always dehydrated with lightly yellow iron and chapped lips. I always tend to be thirsty as well. It's frustrating and makes me nervous that I can't seem to stay hydrated since I've been pregnant. Please help me out here... I'm trying to improve it but no matter how much water I drink I'm still always dehydrated.

Do you have gestational diabetes? Because being that thirsty is a sign that you could be. I have gestational diabetes and I drink water nonstop

[Tashi863]

I would hope that I don't have it... I won't know until I take the glucose test at my next appointment.

Go to a pharmacy and get some hydrolyte. Or if you want something sweet get Gatorade. You need the electrolytes in order for your body to absord water.

You should try drinking Gatorade it can help you stay hydrated.

Are you sure you're drinking enough water? 64 oz. is what's recommended for people, so make sure to drink that at a minimum (though I've been told closer to 80 oz when pregnant). Also- prenatals will make your pee darker as they contain B2, which does that.

To be honest i would never be able to drink so much water and still have space left for food as it fills me so much! I do drink water but also eat watermelon and grapes to make up for some of the loss.

[Tashi863]

I eat plenty of fruits... Especially Pineapple. I love the fruit salads I get from the super market.

[Tashi863]

I'll try Gatorade as well... The only reason why I don't drink it now is because earlier in pregnancy it tasted nasty to me.

[Tashi863]

I'll try it and see if it helps me out. Thank you and same to you.

[Tashi863]

I'm certain that I drink enough water... I drink 4-5 20oz water bottles a day.

[Tashi863]

I'll try drinking the water at room temperature and see how that works... I use chapstick around the clock.

I learned  with my first that room temp water hydrates  better the cold water.  And for ur lips u Polley just should get chap stick
