Hillbilly Housewife wrote: I HATE drinking water. Unfortunately, I need to drink at LEAST 64 ounces everyday. Because I'm a little bit overweight, I'm "supposed" to drink about 16 ounces more.... but enough is enough!! I could drown!!!

booey2 replied: rolling_smile.gif Hi all, I couldn't vote cause I drink about 132 ounces a day or roughly 16.5 glasses a day or 4 litres. It took a little bit of getting used to but I do it now and boy does it help with everything. blink.gif

MomToMany replied: I remember I was always thirsty when I was PG. I love drinking water; it's probably my favorite drink (vodka is a close second laugh.gif rolling_smile.gif J/K!!!). Maybe you could try flavoring it a bit with a twist of lemon or something? I know I don't really think about how much I drink a day; everytime I pass the sink (which is often), I down a big glassful. Try spreading it out over the entire day, then you won't have to drink so much at one time.

Good luck, hope you don't have to make too many more trips to the bathroom wink.gif !

MommyToAshley replied: I am bad, I only drink about 4 cups of water. I should replace some of my A&W Rootbeer with water! When I was PG, I drank water all day long...prolly off your chart.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I get from 6 or more glasses a days just depends. I always get at least 6.

Oh and thats usually only at work! I hate drinking it at home!

supermom replied: I fill three 1 liter bottles of water every morning with our filtered water from home. Then I know I've gotten enough, but I also drink it at night when I get up to go potty laugh.gif and I do that a LOT now that I am PG again, and did before when Anders would wake up to either eat or crawl into our bed.

CantWait replied: I usually only drink about 2-4 glasses a day plus a glass or two or juice, my bad I know, but I wake up in the middle of the night and drink a lot (probably cause I'm so dehydrated), wonder if it still counts though. huh.gif

Mommieto2Girls replied: I drink water all day long.I can't have anything else (while on diet). When I walk or exercise I drink 24oz in one shot not including the rest of the day. Whenever I feel hungry I drink water. I think I am getting used to it.
I wish I did this when I was pregnant but didn't , all I drank was soda. I only took water with my prenatel vitamins.

I suffer thru about 1 Liter bottle of water a day. then I reward myself with a root beer tongue.gif

ashade75 replied: I am very bad... need to start drinking more. I am lucky to get a glass a day.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
And who says we NEED to drink water to survive.... rofl

dhoppygirl replied: I carry my green Nalgene bottle with my almost everywhere and drink the water constantly!! I like to drink the water at work because I have to get up to go the the bathroom frequently and it is a nice reminder to take a break!! I usually have a glass of juice for breakfast and milk for dinner and then water the rest of the day.

ashade75 replied:
That's probably why I have been so sick! lol

Schnoogly replied: Our tap water is so nasty--it is white and bubbly. So we get bottled water and it is tasty. I like water, I drink about 4-5 24oz bottles a day, and more in the summer.

Also I like to make sun tea with herbal tea, esp. celestial seasonings country peach--yum! I add raspberry leaf teabags now b/c they are supposed to help with milk production. I have that mother's milk tea but it is NASTY!!!

maliksmommy replied: I need to drink more water than I do. I can go some days without any at all. I just enjoy pop way too much. I am already on my second one today and it's only lunch time:)

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Heh heh.... does it count as drinking water if I'm drinking Koolaid? I can down a couple litres of that stuff easily... wink.gif

booey2 replied:
It counts you are still drinking it.

booey2 replied:
Try switching over to crystal light and it will count. Too much sugar in the kool aid. tongue.gif
