Drinking enough water?

[baby18momma_2015]

I read online that we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day! Is this true? &is it bad if I only drink like 1-2 glasses if water a day? I'm a first time mom and today marks the first day of my 3rd trimester.

I drink 2L or more a day, purely because I need it! I'm easily dehydrated and get headaches if I don't have enough water.

I drink at least 3 liters of water every day.  Im 35 weeks and i work standing on my feet for 8 hrs a day and haven't swollen at all. The more water you drink the less you will swell. Water helps with alot of things so drink lots of water!

Well I drink a gallon of water a day and it helps me stay cool and energized but I don't recommend anyone to drink that much water unless you need to. It depends on the person. Your body will tell you when you need more fluids. If your urine is dark in color you need to drink more water.

I can never drink 8 glasses of water sometimes I am lucky if I get at least one in I was never a big  water drinker. I have been drinking cranberry juice and other liquids to keep me hydrated. Never had a problem with my first pregnancy and everything is going good with the second

As long as u stay hydrated.. Tht was my prob i never drank enough water or fulids n im always gettn dehydrated

I definitely didn't drink 8 a day with my first or with this one but I do stay well hydrated with other fluids. I probably have 3 tall glasses of water, juice, and milk throughout the day. Water is best but I would come close to 8 glasses of 'fluid'.

8 glasses is the recommended amount pregnant or not. But i make an effort to drink at least 2 glasses a day. 8 is way too much for me. And then I'll drink tea or a soda every other day. My babygirl is perfectly healthy and right on schedule the doctor says. Im almost 38 weeks so i think your alright :) good luck!
