Re: Fluids
I think they recommend 64 ounces of water per day as a minimum. Not sure if that also takes into account juice, milk etc. I drink water all day during the week, but tend to be lax about it on the weekends. I can tell when I'm dehydrated because I sometimes get a crampy feeling. Just try your best to stay hydrated. Maybe try putting some fruit juice in some water to give it some flavor.

Re: Fluids
I try to drink 3-4 sport bottles of water while at work.
With dinner I try to have water. The doc said if Im going to drink soda, to try not to have it with meals. I usually then have a cup of tea of glass of milk with a snack before bed

Re: Fluids
i KNOW i don't drink enough fluids.
but i am still peeing constantly and i am not cramping, so i am not worried.
i drink when i am thirsty, which is a lot of the time, but not 64oz. worth!

I was rushed to the ER when I was 26 Weeks because I was severely dehydrated! The nurse gave me a big jug which holds a quart. She said I need to drink 4 or 5 of those a day! That's way over a gallon! I put a little bit of apple juice in my water to give it some flavor. HTH

Re: Fluids
I drink A LOT....
at work I drink 2L (64 oz) of brita water....
at home I usually drink another 1-1.5 liters of diluted ice tea (I let a good portion of the sugar settle out...)
Then later on, a cup of milk....
overnight, I drink another 1/3 to 1/2 liter of water... every time I have to pee I get thirsty again

Re: Fluids
I actually can't help it... I used to drink about 2.5 liters a day before getting pregnant, and now, It's gone up at least 50% 
I swear I WILL cut down if my pee becomes clear

Re: Fluids
I drink close to 100 oz per day, but I always was one to drink alot even before getting pregnant. You should keep your urine clear. If it looks dark you are not drinking enough.
