I have a really hard time with cold water so I usually drink room temperature water and its not as harsh on my stomach.

I had the same problem and my OB suggested that I mix a little real lemon in it. I didn't want to throw up with the lemon. Good luck!

for the longest time I couldn't drink plain water at all, I ended up buy the water flavoring packets at the store ( tried to stick with sugar free ones ) and that helped at lot, Now that I am further along I can drink plain water but only if it's ice cold

Try some propel water.. like mixing half propel and half water. Or even do half gatorade and half water.

Water is harsh on the stomach. I learned that from my Allere nurse when I had hyperemesis with my first born. The only way I could manage any water was ice pellets from Sonic.
