    I usually get up and have a small glass of OJ (I cant do water first thing in the AM)
    and one at night

    Then I have a liter of H2O by Noon and another one by 4:00 when I leave work
    Then I refill it and try to suck down another Liter by bed time.

    So I'm getting three liters, I've read on other questions that its best to try to get a gallon in and I've tryed but just cant do it......Ugh....I hate water....But I make myself drink the three liters because I know it's helping my babies get the fluid the need and postpone preterm labor. But the thought of drinking one more liter makes me gag=(

    Do you think I'm ok with the three liters?

    Sounds good to me! I think I aimed for 32 oz of water a day, plus a couple glasses of milk, juice, etc. I never had any issues with preterm labor.

    My OB told me to drink 12 glasses (8oz) a day. I would set out 6 water bottles in the morning and made sure they were gone by the time I went to bed. It was hard some days.

    Your doing a lot better than me. I HATE water. When I was a kid I would gag when I drank it. The most I've done is 4 bottles a day. And I really try. Now the last few days I've been lucky to do 2. I know I need to work on it and the doctor told me to drink more last time, but I'm doing my best. The four that I did I would sip on one all day adn think I was doing good and then by 4 realize it was still my first so I would down 2 and then try get one more down (forcefully) by bedtime. It's hard I know! But it sounds like you are doing good to me.

    I was not a water drinker before but I drink close to 100 oz a day. I drink 3-4 8 oz of water during the night.I wake up parched. I cant ever seem to get enough water. It sounds like you are getting enough based on my ob's rec.
