Water

Who is struggling to get their water in? I am.

It's so hard for me to drink more than 3-4 glasses a day. I either forget all together, or remember in spurts. It just makes me feel super heavy and full, and of course makes my bathroom trips more frequent.
I've really been trying to get it all in this week because my cousin who is 27 weeks was told her fluid levels were low during her u/s last week. Of course that made me think it was going to happen to me too, so I've been really trying my hardest to keep it from happening.

I find it easier to do bottles of water rather than cups. I drink fruit2o. I'm doing at least 3 16oz bottles of it a day.

Luckily my little beans crave cold water so I am good.

I noticed in Walmart the other day that Crystal Light (I think that was the brand) came out with a natural flavoring for your water. It's Crystal Pure or something like that. I read the ingredients and they seem harmless to the babies. May be worth a shot for you ladies that don't like to drink plain water.

I don't drink water. I get it in other forms, like OJ, caffeine free soda, or milk.

Yes I struggle so much with this. When I realize I haven't drank much half the day is already over.

This is totally me! When I'm teaching I'm so busy that I honestly don't think about it and I usually work through lunch and then our prep time is super busy since we all plan as teams at my school...then I get a little crampy at night and I'm like, crap I haven't really drank any water today or anything else for that matter! I'm trying!! I do really like powerade zero.

Im SOO strange whenever I eat out at my moms or at resturants all I want to drink is ice cold water but for some reason I won't drink it in my own house

I get PLENTY of fluids, Milk, OJ, Apple Juice & Kool-Aid are what I drink daily!
