Water - Pregnancy

Rach · 03-27-2006, 11:53 AM

Am I the only one who finds it pretty much impossible to drink 64+ fl. oz's of water a day?

To me, I drink a lot of water...but I have a very very very hard time trying to drink THAT much. Even if I mix it w/ Crystal Light, i just feel like I cannot drink that much in a day!

I have a package of water bottles sitting in front of me to try to motivate me

(I know that would help w/ swelling)

I'm having a difficult time drinking as much as I'm supposed to. Always have. I just carry my bottle around with me in hope I will drink enough. lol

I have a hard time doing it also.. That's one of the reason I chose not to breast feed because the NICU nurses were like you HAVE to have a MINIMUM of 64 ounces of water, I was like "there's no way I can do that."

I feel sick if I make myself drink a lot of it

I do sometimes but most of the time I have a big glass always filled with water on my counter and drink it threw out the day. Sometimes I drink more than 64oz...

Sometimes I have a really hard time drinking alot of water. I just really hate having to pee every five seconds! It does get hard to get down if you are needing to drink alot.

I guess I dont have much of a choice....I never carry cash for the coke machine and work has bottled water service, so when I get thirsty its my only choice. I definitely drink way more then 64 ounces a day....but if I wasnt working im sure it wouldnt be that way.

I used to drink so much just because I was working so hard at my job. Plus when I was bored it gave me a reason to get up. now that Im home I don't drink that much. I know I should but I also should floss my teeth every day and I don't do that. I don't think its going to kill me not to.
