How much amount of water to drink daily during pregnancy?
I feel like im always thirsty these days, third trimester now. Some days i drink loads, some days i forget completely. Just want to know how much is actually enough in a day?
Honestly between work I'd forget, so I set phone reminders and kept a 1 litre bottle on my desk, refilled twice. Easy way to hit close to 2-3 litres without thinking too much.
Around 8-10 glasses is a good aim, spread through the day. I kept a bottle near me always or I'd forget. Keeps energy up and reduces UTIs which are common in pregnancy.
My doctor told me roughly 2.5 to 3 litres a day, more if its hot or you're active. She said watch your urine colour, pale means well hydrated. Helped a lot with my constipation and swelling too.
My app had a water tracker which was actually useful, I aimed for about 3 litres. On hot days I added a bit more. Carrying a marked bottle made it simple to keep count.
