What to drink aside from water.....
So I am new here to the pregnancy board (just got BFP today!)  I really am not a huge water fan but have been forcing myself to drink it all day....
I am getting bored of water already so wanted to ask you ladies....is there anything you can drink aside from water and juices that is low and calories (so I don't gain too much weight during this pg)? I know you should avoid artificial sweetner (i.e. sucralose...what about items with aspartame)?
I am clueless...any other drink advice would be helpful!

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
All i drink now is flavored seltzer, my favorite is lime one. It is so refreshing and i love it. I also drink water during day at work and then when i get home either the seltzer or 100% real fruit juice (dole has delicious flavors)

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
Most people will say aspartame is a no no.
I say anything is fine as long as it is in moderation.
I will drink iced tea (4c Iced Tea is made with real sugar, not artificial) and Sprite to spice up my beverage choices.
Even just adding a lemon or orange to water helps give it a little flavor.

I love Crystal Lite lemonade! I think it tastes great and it's very low in calories.
As others said, I'm a big seltzer drinker as well.

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
My doctor said Dier Coke is fine here or there. It is not sweet and low which is harmful it is nutrasweet.
Mainly I have water or seltzer but since my Dr told me I could I do have Diet Coke here and there.
I also have a coffee in the morning. I need some caffiene!

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
I love water. But when im in the mood for something else. I go for real fruit juice or Sprite. Sprite is caffiene free. Yes a lil sugary but in moderation its fine. Oh btw i buy the mini cans of it. So its not even an entire 12oz its 8oz.

is all seltzer water fine or should I look out for specific ingrediants to avoid? Can you drink as much of this as we want?
Thanks ladies :)

Most seltzer should be fine -- just make sure you get seltzer that has no sodium. Some of them are made with it, but not as many.

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
i think seltzer is fine no matter what kind - we load up on the stop&shop brand - manderin orange, lemon, lemon-lime. i sometimes put a little cranberry juice in my water too. and i've been drinking ginger ale.

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
Congrats on your BFP!!! Got mine two weeks ago, and even though this is my second, I feel like I forgot all the things we can and can not eat or drink.
Besides water, seltzer and fresca, I also love fruit juices like V8 Splash cut in half with water. It is too heavy and sweet on its own but mixed with water, it is yummy!

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
I drink 1/3 cranberry juice, 2/3 selzer. It's delish and refreshing! It gives it a little bit of flavor, but cuts the calories and sugar.

Re: What to drink aside from water.....
Can you try squeezing some lemon/lime/orange in your water? At least it cuts up on the boredom a bit.
Seltzer (make sure its no sodium)
Milk/Chocolate Milk
100% juices/V8 juice
Decaf Iced Tea (though regular is fine in mod)
My DH has been making fresh lemonade recently--with water, lemons, and a little sugar. Sooooo amazingly good!!!!!!
