You could try ice cubes or adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the water? And if you feel blaoted, have a drink bottle that you can sip instead of having a whole glass at a time.
If you can eat - how about fruit salad?? Particularly watermelon etc. That will give you the fluids without drinking as such. Icy cold fruit is really nice
Michelle71 thats a good idea about the fruit salad.
Loula do you feel dehydrated? Is your wee that horrid yellow colour? If not I wouldn't be too concerned. You can also get fluid from ice cream, soups and yogurts etc anything fluidy to eat works the same as thinner fluids like water.
Do you like watermelon? Soup is a good idea. Smoothies? And icy poles...I can recommend Frosty Fruits as an excellent pregnancy treat.
Otherwise, with water, maybe a bit of the old fashioned discipline, set a timer for every hour or so and just scull a small glass or something. All the best!
If you are finding it hard to drink, you could try foods that are watery...lol if that makes sense, like watermelon and grapes and iceberg lettuce! They are all good hydraters!
I LOVE water lol so i don't drink much else, but my partner hates it so he is always mixing it with cordial etc, you could try really really diluting it so its watery but with a tiny bit of cordial taste?
Callipos are also great.
Watermellon juice (just zap it in a blender).
I found fizzy drinks helped my burping/gas but filled me up more. I would just drink a little at a time but mostly I tried lemon juice in water, and a little cordial (nice expensive pure one) in water and served cold.
I have EVERYTHING crossed for you sweets. As HB said its hard to stalk/cheer you on ATM so anytime you are ready to post your friends are ready to help.
I was similar. Drinking made me gag for some reason and I'd only get a couple of sips down. If you're worried then maybe fill a bottle and sip from that during the day so at least you can see you're getting something in.
Loula, Ive been having the same trouble, have eaten my way through half a packet of saladas this afternoon, but am struggling to get the fluid in! I'm finding though that it's more the thought of drinking that's turning me off, when I actually just bite the bullet, my body thanks me. Having water REALLY cold, or cold soda water has really helped. Oh, and orange juice (has to be Berri 3L?!!) with ice has been good too.
