same here... at work I have a big water bottle and keep lemons here so I squeeze a lemon in the bottle every morning and drop it in too then fill up the bottle all day long. I actually know I'm drinking enough when I go to the bathroom. My pee has to be a light yellow and I'm good. LOL

A lot, and when you think you've been drinking enough, drink more.  Seriously though, water will keep you from swelling and cramping. Alot of cramping is really just the result of dehydrations so just make sure you keep drinking. You can alternate with juices and decaf teas and stuff too.

Re: How much water should i be drinking?
I am a huge water drinker but since being pregnant, I cant drink ANYTHING before 1-2 pm bc of nausea. I am soooo thirsty too in the am but if i even have a sip, I get nauseous. I know I am not drinking enough.

Re: How much water should i be drinking?
At teh begining I would drink 2-3 liters of water a day. Now at 34 weeks I drink 4-5 liters a day. Most of my uncomfrotable PG symptoms such as cramping, bloating, headaches, nausea and fatigue are cause by lack of water. The more I drink teh better I feel.
I have a 1 liter Nalgene bottle that I walk aroudn with adn just continuously drink. Take a few sips every 15 minutes and you'll see how fast it goes down.
ALso try squeezing in some lemon, lime or orange for flavor. If you really start to get bored you can also drink seltzer with the same fruits squeezed in or a little fruit juice!!
ETA: A normal person NOT PG is suppose to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day....when you are PG you are suppose to drink WAY more!

Re: How much water should i be drinking?
I drink about 8 glasses just at my desk at work. Then at home I am good for about 3 more. I get really thirsty but then I wake up to pee at night a lot. Thankfully I fall right back to sleep after.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who hated it!! I'm so happy to know that someone else feels the same way I do. I have been trying really hard to drink some, but not nearly 8 glasses a day. I think the most has been 3! I feel like such a bad mommy too. Ok, if you are going to try, I will try too to drink a few more. I was thinking of making a checkoff sheet so that I know when I've had my max for the day to keep track.
