Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I'm notorious for exceeding the gallon.... I drink 1 & 1/4 to 1 & 1/2 every day 
My preggo symptoms skyrocket and I feel miserable whenever I drink less.
(frankly, as long as your pee isn't dark yellow, you're likely fine... after all, eveyone's water requirements are different......)

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
Far far far from it...I'm lucky to get in an 8oz glass, sometimes (2) 8 oz glasses during the day. I'm really not a big fan of water to begin with. I've been drinking mostly OJ, milk, and iced tea. Sometimes I'll go 2 or 3 days without actual water....so, don't feel bad. You'll know if you're not drinking enough liquids---passing out, cramping, and muscle cramps (along with dark pee) are all signs.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I am not drinking enough water either. I really don't like water. I try to drink 5 to 6 glasses throughout the day but I mostly drink juices and iced tea sometimes. Don't worry! I'm sure our babies are fine!

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
The past two days have been really warm, so I definitely drank at least a gallon. It makes me feel better...I just wish I didn't have to use the bathroom so often.

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I drink 64 ounces in water a day give or take plus I drink a couple of cups of milk. My doctor suggested sticking to the 64 ounces of water which is 1/2 gallon. Your doctor told you 1 gallon? I don't think I could do that either!
Those large water containers have been so helpful, that's the only way I've been able to keep track at work. I make sure to have it 3/4 finished by the time I leave work.

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I am very bad with this. I drink anywhere from 40 oz a day to 64 oz at most.
I asked my dr today, he said it really varies and he wasn't concerned when I said I can't drink alot of liquids most times. Just to try to get at least 32 oz a day (4 small glasses) at least.

my advice to jam more water down your throat when you don't want it:
get a big glass (I have a 1/2 liter glass... 1 gallon = about 4 liters... so 8 of those = 1 gallon).
I bought lime juice, and put a squirt in a glass and fill it with filtered water. I drink extra water when I am too tired to notice or care... first thing in the morning, middle of the night (during a pee break), late evening....
Just try to get your pee a medium yellow and I promise you will actually FEEL better. less swelling, more energy, no headaches, less aches and pains... that's my sole incentive to keep this up

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
A gallon?!?!?!? We're supposed to drink a gallon?!?!?!
I drink a decent amount. I drink one of those big Fiji bottles at my desk and a small poland spring at lunch. Then at home I drink maybe a couple of glasses, most likely one glass. Is that close to a gallon?

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
Yes I do and more. Its all I drink, I dont drink anything else unless at a party then I will drink 2 glasses of cranberry juice with sprite, then back to water.
No juice, soda- only at a party which is not usual.
I actually used to get cramps early on the pg and found out it was due to lack of water so after that I drink and drink and drink water.
squeeze lemon in it and yummy!!! In your 3rd tri you can have crystal lite.
It is really important, so drink up ladies!

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
lately, I think I'm pretty close to it. I'm so thirsty lately. Also, I never used to like my water ice cold, now the colder the better.

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I try - I don't really drink anything else, so I kind of replaced my usual morning hot tea, lunch diet iced tea etc etc w/ water ..........I'm sure i'm not drinking a gallon, b/c I'm not one to really drink A LOT anyway, but probably close -

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
nope - not even close. Drinking water tends to bring on my MS i just have what i can when i can. hopefully when the MS stops i can do a little better. But right now it is impossible.

Re: Ok be honest.. Do you really drink the gallon water per day
I try to drink as much as possible-- days when I am out and about all day though-- it's just not happening.
When I am at the office though-- I definitely get through a lot...
