Its hard for me to drink water to, my mom says as long as I stay hydrated and I drink milk and juice that I should get enough water from that. Dont know how accurate that is but lol im 7 months too
You need water specifically. That's why everything says to drink 8-10 glasses a day because it's important, not only for you, but for your baby. Lack of water can cause more painful cramps too. I definitely notice that I feel way different when I don't drink enough water.
With my first I didn't drink much at all i was never a big water drinker and I was fine and so was baby. .
Baby is made of 90% water & the water helps fluid in the sac. So water is highly recommended for safety reasons and development. Not enough water can cause preterm & problems with babies development.
Try to think, "i don't want to neglect or torture my baby"
Start today with water.
I personally keep a glass or bottle filled by my bed & drink when I feel movement so my baby has energy or isn't thirsty because babies don't talk when they need food or water, they get weak with no hydration & we have to care for them as the mothers.
I'm also 7. Months, congratulations. Just drink frequently. Also water helps to not get or lighten stretch marks
I don't drink much water. I just don't like it but as long as your drinking milk n not sugary juices you'll be fine. People are so dramatic and trust me I know it'll be okay. My sister is the same way. AllFOUR of her kids are prefect
And she is caring for her baby. Milk is good. Gosh people are ignorant.
