is it too bad?

I've never really been a water person, but ever since I found out I'm pregnant I've been drinking water although there are days when I don't drink so much.. is it that bad? I just can't like drinking water for some reason :/ there's no taste

Water may not taste as good but you definitely need at least 64ozs a day. My amniotic fluid went low around 28 weeks because I wasn't keeping up with my water intake.  Just be careful and If you have cramping drink water. By the way they sell water flavor packets in stores.

I also never used to drink water. In the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't drink near enough and kept getting bladder/ kidney infections. And ended up having theeee most painful cramps due to dehydration. Doc says 4 liters of water minimum for pregnant women. Ever since I just make sure to have really super ice cold water with me or make flavored water or I take oranges and slice them up and put them into the water and it makes the best orange flavored water :) Good luck with baby!

I'm also not a water person. I use the water flavorers though. Like crystal light packets. Makes things way better.

Try putting lemon juice in it, just a little. I add a little to my bottled water and shake it up. It at least gives it flavor. I hate water..I feel like I'm drinking someones saliva lol

I am exact same way. I actually hate water and almost never drank any until I found out I was pregnant. Only water I actually like is smart water so I try to drink at least half a bottle a day but I usually don't. My baby is still growing healthy so I don't think it's of too much concern, just don't drink soda like crazy =P
