Yes your are supposed to stay hydrated. But that has nothing to do with the growth of your belly. Ftm usually don't show until 6+ months. I am also guilty of not drinking enough water. I just hate it. But no it has nothing to do with your stomach. Now it does affect your fluid though. Not drinking water can cause cramps, and you can become dehydrated. I already have been to the hospital for dehydration. Its not fun.

Yes you are. Because other drinks are full of sugar and caffeine.  I drink water all day every day besides if I go to dinner ill get a soda! And every once in awhile ill buy one from the store

Yes you do need to drink a lot of water but it won't affect your bump. Some women don't really show as much
