I know it's important to stay hydrated, especially during pregnancy. Can anyone tell me how much water I should be drinking daily? I want to make sure I'm drinking enough for both of us.
My doctor specifically told me to aim for 2.5 to 3 liters daily. It helps maintain the amniotic fluid level and keeps UTI away, which is super common now. I bought a tracker bottle to keep count of my intake.
Haan beta, paani toh daba ke peena padega abhi. At least 3 liters target rakho, body heat control hoti hai na. Cold water se thoda cold avoid karna, normal ya thoda matke ka paani best hai.
When I was pregnant, I felt so exhausted all the time and kept forgetting to hydrate. But then my skin started getting so dry and I had mild headaches. Once I started drinking enough, I felt so much better and more energetic.
Carrying two babies meant my bladder was constantly crushed, but still I had to drink like a camel! Seriously, 3-4 liters was my daily job. Just accept that you'll live in the washroom for nine months, no choice!
Please monitor your water intake properly. I had low amniotic fluid in my 7th month and it was quite scary, so we had to be super careful. Keep your gynac updated if you feel too dehydrated or can't keep liquids down.
I drink water mostly to survive my spicy pani puri cravings lol! Honestly, my appetite is crazy right now, but I make sure to drink at least 8-10 glasses because spicy food makes me so thirsty.
