My doctor said to just drink a lot of water because the baby is 1 degree warmer. He didn't give a specific amount just said a lot

96 divided by 8 is 12 - so 12 8 ounce glasses a day or 6 16 ounce water bottles(the regular size ones).
My Dr. said 10 glasses of water a day.

Ugh water is making me sick. I hate drinking it. I barely drink enough so the Dr said drink whatever you can because most of it will have water in it ie: juice, iced-tea, etc..

Re: How much water should I be drinking????
First, You can't drink too much!!
My doctor said a minimum of 8-10 glasses a day. Dehydration can cause many issues - cramping, build up of waste, weakness, etc.
Drink away! Add lemon or lime slices to add some flavor. Or add a few glasses of sparkling water for a change. We bought a few cases of Pellegrino at Costco.

Sure, just check the sugar content. You don't want to unknowingly have too much - that is just empty calories.

I end up alternating between bottled water and lemon-lime seltzer (no extra sugar or calories). I still have a soft spot for ginger ale and will have a few cans a week- though I feel guilty about the sugar in it.
