What to drink??
I'm going food shopping either tomorrow or Friday and I need beverages with flavor!! I've never been a big water drinker, and I feel like I am drowning myself trying to drink as much as I need to. Actually I've never really been a big drinker...usually a coffee in the morning, something with lunch and one or two glasses of something with dinner (I know, I should drink more than that even when I'm not pregnant).
I need something with flavor!! I've tried drinking OJ in the mornings, but it gives me HORRIBLE heartburn. I don't like grape juice. I need to be in the mood for apple juice or fruit punch (which is very rare). I can't drink a lot of sprite, too much of it leaves me feeling like I have a film on my tounge. I'm not a big tea/iced tea drinker. I like root beer, but I don't want to drink a lot of soda, and I usually have a 20oz bottle with lunch (it doubles as an anti m/s treatment!).
Any ideas of other things I can drink? TIA!!

I have been drinking this water called Hint (because I can't have anything with sugar). It is water with fruit flavors...no sugar and no artificial sweetner.

I found that at Fresh Market last week and I love it!!!! It's only sale for $1 a bottle right now, too! I think the watermelon is my favorite one. 
I drink a lot of those flavored water thingies and also a lot of different types of "juice soda" -- the sparkling juices. They're kinda high in calories the way juice is, but I like them a lot more than regular juice. I've never been a soda drinker, though. I also really like taking flavored seltzer and going half-and-half juice to seltzer in a glass.
I keep straws handy, too, because I find I'm a lot more likely to drink a ton more if there's a straw in my glass. Funny how that works.

Re: What to drink??
Flavored seltzer was my savior while I was pregnant. I drink a lot of water but I also need a few drinks a day of something flavored so I would have flavored seltzer or crystal light lemonade or cranberry and that got me thru.

Re: What to drink??
My dr. said I need at least 3 servings of milk and I HATE milk alone so I have also been making chocolate or strawberry milk with the low fat syrup with skim milk.
I also drink alittle bit of the cherry pomegranate crystal light and homemade ice tea with decaf tea bags.

Re: What to drink??
I had horrible heartburn my first trimester and chocolate milk was the only thing that worked for it. I also was told to drink more water because I am swelling a lot... I hate hate hate water but I bought some lemons and squeeze some juice into the water then throw the slice in... it makes it bearable.

Re: What to drink??
I love water and could drink it all day! But I am also a fan of iced tea. I love Arizona Green tea but try to limit it. I make my own iced tea using decaf tea bags, fresh lemon, and sugar. YUMMY!

Re: What to drink??
I have heartburn with juice too.
I've been doing:
1. Seltzer (at times mixed with juice)
2. LOTS of Root beer (baby loves the sugar content)
3. Home made no-sugar lemonade. 2 lemons per pitcher.
4. Honest "teas": esp their non-ice tea drinks
5. Milk (esp after a breakfast bar)
I've started drinking my water WITH ice cubes. It tastes better that way. It helps me drink a lot more water.
