Do you track your water intake?

[linz]

Or do you just keep drinking? I'm supposed to drink 128 oz since I'm pg with twins. I can usually get 72 oz in while at work (my cup is 24 so I drink at least 3). But in the evenings/weekends I have trouble. I wish I could buy a cup that's 128 oz and tell myself "drink this before bed!"

[cmarie11]

I have a 24 ounce water bottle, so I try and drink at least 3 during the day. I usually get 1 in before lunch, 1 in the afternoon, and 1 in the evening, sometimes more.

128 ounces is a gallon, so technically you could just drink out of a gallon water jug? haha

[statlerwaldorf]

Yes. It has been a struggle to drink enough water. I use an app called water your body or something like that.

[statlerwaldorf]

I got a huge water jug with a straw from the hospital when I delivered dd that had the ounces on it, but somehow I lost it. I've been looking for something like that, but haven't had much luck.

[IndiaInk]

No. I just got a couple Camelbak Eddy bottles (they have a straw, so I'm more likely to drink from them because I don't have to unscrew the top). They're 1 liter / 33 oz bottles and I just try to carry one everywhere I go.

[mannah]

I use a liter Nalgene bottle and bring it everywhere I go. I try to drink 3 each day, which is generally manageable but I definitely have to try. I also have no qualms about filling up at any water fountain or faucet--I'm not picky about it being bottled water so it's easier to fill it up wherever I happen to be when I finish one off.

I just can't wrap my head around how much time you must spend in the bathroom. 1 gallon of water + twins pushing on the bladder = MISERY

I'm better at it at work than on the weekends. I have a Camelbak for at home and I should track more how many times I fill that up.

[mrssandro]

I have trouble on the weekends. I get a huge headache on Monday since I just get hung over from not drinking enough during the weekend. This has been my experience the last 3 Mondays. I force myself to drink as much water as possible. I know I feel better when I do. I just hate all the constant peeing. I also have fear of getting another UTI so I just drink drink drink all the time.

My doctor didn't tell me a certain amount of water I needed to drink.

I read to drink this much but will verify later with my dr. Its not bad now, I do pee a lot. But I'm nervous for when the babies are bigger.

[laurack]

No I don't. I pee so much I feel I couldn't possibly not be drinking enough

[Odonata]

I drink when I am thirsty. I may be 100% incorrect on this, but I really do follow the rule "your body will tell you what it needs".

I use to try to drink 3L a day but since I've been so bloated I find it hard to cram water in when I don't even feel I need it. My stomach just feels so uncomfortable if I try and drink more water.

[starlily]

I track on mfp and aim for at least 80oz a day.

[bethaboo]

Loosely. My water bottle holds about 20 ounces so I aim for four of those per day.

[MrsDarcy]

I should, but I don't. I also was not given a daily goal. If I realize I haven't had any lately I'll just fill up a 16oz cup and chug it.

[picksthemusic]

I have a liter bottle and try to drink at least 3 a day.

I did more than that today and must have peed every hour on the hour. Annoying!

[jewel]

I have no water goal and I don't do any tracking. I just drink something when I'm thirsty, and I'll chug some extra water if I start to feel crampy.

Bad mom.

[mrspost08]

I don't track. I know I am drinking plenty. I haven't ever had an issue with drinking water.

[sillygoosegirl]

No, but I probably should. It seems like I'm thirsty all. the. time.

[pinotgrig]

Pre-pg all I drank was water (or wine). I love it and always have a big glass on my desk at work. But I don't track how much I drink each day since I know I drink about 80 oz during the work day plus whatever I drink at home.

Exactly this.
