water intake

So I'm finally doing better drinking my water everyday but now I constantly feel like I am going to pee my pants.  My baby boy is always in my bladder and drinking all this water is making it so much worse. At about noon today I started drinking a one gallon jug of water and its 4 40 now and its about 2/3'a gone..... I'm gonna keep drinking it but oh man do I have to pee alot.  I'm sure you all know what I mean

Try keeping a bottle of.water with you at all times....dehydration can cause miscarriage and that's what made me stop with the juice and pop...I was only having one pop a day but wasn't really drinking enough water...I've been in the hospital for dehydration too...try it with crystal light and then try just drinking plain water...it takes some getting use to But your body will thank you.!!

Yeah I have been in the bathroom as much as anywhere else today.  I have a 15 minute drive home from work and when I leave I pee and by the time I get home I have to pee so bad and that's even when I don't drink alot of water today should be fun.

Welcome to pregnancy ;) I'm an obsessive water drinker and I'm running to the bathroom alllll the time. It gets so old. I'm dealing with it though, whatever it takes to make sure me and baby are healthy.

Its weird cuz the more I drink and pee the thirstier I seem causing the cycle to continue. But its about the lil man so I will deal with it. He has been up very close to the front of my belly today pushing outward then he will wiggle back and go right back to the front.

I know when I first started to limit and stop drinking soda and caffeine drinks and was drinking only water it felt worse than drinking the sodas. If you aren't used to drinking water like you are now it gets better. You kidneys are flushing out the bad, but in the next week or so you should notice it getting better. I hope this helps.
