Im not a big drinker either soo drinking water is hard for me.  I already dont drink a lot anyways.  I actually started eating ice so when I get a cup I fill it with ice and water.  I make myself drink all the water before I eat the ice

Not drinking enough water can cause your cervix to shorten and induce premature labor so it's super important!

Buy a big, 32 oz reusable water bottle and drink two a day. That makes it more managable for me at least.

I actually prefer water over any other drink, especially putting a water bottle in the freezer. I love it when it's extremely cold with ice to munch on

I can't force myself for nothing. And it doesn't help when I go to the dr and they say everything's fine then I get that stupid mentality that what I'm doing is ok and I don't do anything to change it.

Sometimes I got a day or two without drinking any water and I feel so much better when I have a nice tall glass. But I just forget. I have so much going on right now that I forget to eat or drink and when I do most of the time it's milk or a soft drink.

There are days I drink between 4 to 5 water bottles (16.9 oz) but there are days I get tired of water and drink just half of that!

I just have to force myself to do it. I drink about 6 or 7 bottles a day now. It helps with swelling and also makes me feel a lot better so that is something that helped me to remember to drink it.
