1st tri and NO desire to drink water

is it me??

I normally have/had no prob drinking it...heck guzzling down bottles of it all day.

Im lucky if I got through 1/2 a cup today.

So I have settled for iced tea cause Im dehydrated and I know it (my lips are peeling like crazy amongst other things.)

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I haven't had ANY water. The thought is repulsive. I eat a lot of watermelon and pineapple.....not sure if that does any good though!

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I was a big water drinker before I got pg. But in the beginning I had a little trouble too. I just didn't feel well, I didn't want to put anything in my mouth sometimes!

I just did what I had to do to get through those days. Now I can't get enough water, and it has to be frezzing cold! So I'm sure I'm making up for it now!!

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I didn't start drinking enough water until I was in my 2nd trimester. I had no desire to do ANYTHING for 14 weeks

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

MY first trimester i HATED WATER TOO and i, also like you loved it before i got pregnant...I however forced myself to drink it to avoid utis, constipation and dehydration now at 39 weeks i still drink over a gallon a day..(sick i know) but ice tea is good too..just try to water it down a little because of the caffeine

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I had a similar problem, but I wound up severely dehydrated and in the hospital. I started drinking water with electrolytes so that way I hydrating myself more than I would just drinking straight water. I also drank vitamin water, and gatorade.

You can also try diluting some juice in water or maybe put lemon in water. Anything to get you hydrated.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I agree with the half water half juice. try to get it down, it is important.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I top off my water with a little splash of flavored seltzer! makes a big difference for me for some reason AND i feel like i am mixing a cocktail! LOL

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

Liquids are liquids, IMO... I am not a water fan, never have been, but I can drink seltzer all day long! Whatever you can drink is good

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

same here...i do like apple juice though

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I wasn't a fan of water in my first trimester i would add lemon to my water or drinking it really cold all of that helped

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I totally remember this too Deb. I tdrank seltzer

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I'm not a big water drinker either. I started cramping pretty bad...even had to go to the doctor to get checked out. He didnt find anything wrong but asked me if I was drinking water (which I wasnt). He told me how important it is and once I started drinking enough water daily the cramping went away. I know its a pain but its so important...especially to stay hydrated

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

oh im on a decaf idea tea kick too. i'd say the water aversion got better for me though around 11wks.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

i haaaated water in my first tri - just try to drink anything!

i found that i only wanted water if it was ICE cold...

otherwise i was drinking caffeine-free soda (gingerale is my fave!), lemonade, iced tea, etc.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I had this , but i never really liked water. I found it disgusting when i got pregnant. All I wanted was lemonade. I ruined ginger ale for myself forever because I drank too much of it. I drank alot of lemoney things.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

Same here.
I never really liked water. The only way I could get it down was with Crystal Light flavors in it- but now I don't use those anymore because of the artificial sweetner.
I think 4C makes those flavor sticks with Splenda instead of Aspartime- I have to check into that.

I started drinking juice, soda, etc- but there is just SO much sugar in that stuff- and since I can't have diet- I don't want to pack on pounds from what I'm drinking.

It's a no win!

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

I had trouble sometimes, especially with nausea and heartburn-I had lemonade watered down.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

same here, water makes me vomit, most liquids make me vomit except orange soda, but how much of that can I drink?! I'm 13 weeks and my lips are all dry now

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

NONE at all!!! I cant get myself to drink it! And i used to carry around this HUGE water bottle that my husband got a new one every christmas for me!

Im eating loads of cabbage, grapes and soup though so I guess that's good?

I am embarassed to say, lately the only thing that keeps me from getting sick is soda (Something I HAVE NEVER drank)

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

i was a little grossed out by water for the latter half of the 1st tri. i drank watered down lemonade. so that there was a different taste in my mouth.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

congrats on the baby, i dont have a desire either.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

Im almost in my 3rd Tri, and throughout my 1st I had no problem drinking water, it's been the 2nd Tri that all I want is Coke, caffeine free and ice cold or Peach Snapple. I get a little water in here and there, but it doesnt do it for me , ya know...LOL

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

Right after my BFP I had trouble drinking enough water b/c I felt so sick all the time. Now since about 8 weeks I can't get enough. I drink way too much, and have to get up at least 3x a night to pee. I find it helps to have something w/ a straw to drink out of. I have this big plastic starbucks cup for ice coffee with a cover & straw. I fill it w/ a ton of ice and water or half water half seltzer. Of even water w/ lemon. Drinking the ice tea is better than drinking nothing. Try making unsweetened decaf at home so you don't have to worry about too much caffeine. Seltzer helped me with m/s also, and it comes in so many flavors. I love the sparkling lemon water from target the archer farms. Early on I would fill a glass with ice half water half juice.

Re: 1st tri and NO desire to drink water

Deb... I could not drink water at all the 1st trimester... but I COULD drink lemonade... so I just made country time and drank that constantly so I felt I was getting my water in! Also... flavored seltzer!
