    Just curious. My OB wants me to drink 80-100 oz of water a day, when indoors and double that when out in the heat. I try to drink 5-6 of the 16.9 oz bottles a day but some days I just feel so waterlogged and it's hard to get it all down. Does anyone else have this problem?

    My Peri said at least 100 oz a day ( I live in Florida) but would really like to see me at a gallon a day. HA! NOT happening. I can get about 80-100 oz most days.. sometimes though I can't even get half of that. I just drink when I'm thirsty and that's all I can do.

    Definitely. I am a huge water drinker usually but this pregnancy water has been making me gag. I think it fills up my stomach and makes my heartburn/nausea worse. I have to drink it with lots of ice or I mix 1/2 juice, 1/2 water with lots of ice. I also try and drink a lot in the morning when I'm not feeling so sick. Nausea is worse in the afternoon- can't believe I still have it at 29 weeks!

    I tried to drink 6 of the 16 oz water bottles each day when I was pregnant.

    I tried to do about a gallon, but would allow a glass of non-water a day... it stunk but I found ways to get it in with the food I was eating.

    I drank a gallon a day because of issues I had with my two older singletons. Hence my screen name ;)

    Wow. I know I'm not getting nearly enough. I try, but water makes me want to vomit!! And at work I can't get to the bathroom enough. I do anesthesia and sometimes can't get out of the operating room for 4 or more hours!! And I can't take water in with me...

    all i do is drink water and chew on ice. i have no desire to eat food anymore so I am pretty sure I am getting enough water.....nutrients on the other hand......not so much.

    I try to drink at least 6-8 16oz bottles of water I day, but its very hard. I have to use the bathroom every 5 to 10 minutes sometime. I feel so water logged :(

    I am drinking a LOT of water. Before I leave for work in the morning I am drinking 1 or 2 big glasses of water (16 ounces). Then at work, I am drinking about 6-8 bottles - the ones that are 16 ounces each. Then at home in the evening, I drink at least 2-3 big glasses before I go to bed. Usually I am also having a big glass of cranberry juice or milk or orange juice with dinner. Of course... all this water has to go somewhere, so needless to say, I pee a lot :). Most nights I wake up to pee and then I drink another big glass of water before I go back to sleep (at times going back to sleep doesn't really work... but that's another story). The funny thing is that I still feel thirsty at times.
