HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD A PREGNANT WOMAN DRINK A DAY?

Q: I was in the hospital yesterday for severe dehydration. Im 29 weeks and i have been kind of ill lately so forcing fluids is a real task. I keep having cold sweats all day too i had no idea if that was because of my dehydration or what. But i woke up today and had very very dark urine. Orange pretty much. I knew i was dehydrated again. (For some reason i get it a lot in this pregnancy) Does anyone know or have any suggestions on how much i should be drinking a day? THANKS! :)the hospital sucked actually. They gave me a hospital water jug and said just drink plenty of fluids. So obviously i had no idea how much that was. lol

How much water should a pregnant woman drink?

Q: I’m over 3 months along, and I’ve been hearing of some women’s incredible thirst for water. I just don’t have it (I never have). I know I should be drinking about a litre per day, and I’m trying to force it down, but I often forget. Is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks!

A: The normal dietary recommendation for women is actually about 2.2 liters, with pregnant women being advised to drink closer to 2.5. Try putting lemon in it, that always works for me.

Is drinking 8 ounces of water for every hour you are awake a day too much? (for a pregnant woman)?

Q: Hi, I recently read on here, while searching how much water I should be drinking daily during my pregnancy, and several people answered that their doctors or nurses advised them to drink 8 ounces of water for every hour you are awake per day, but that seems like way too much water. Because for example, say I’m awake by 8 am and don’t go to sleep until 11 pm that’s a total of 15 hours I’m awake so 15 X 8 ounces = 120 ounces of water I should drink a day. Does that amount seem excessive to anyone or is that a good amount to drink daily? Reason I was searching that in the first place is to try and help combat constipation during my pregnancy and I know water can help with that problem. I just wanna make sure I’m not getting too much of a good thing ya know, and I’ve been kinda worried about it since I heard about water intoxication. Please advise as to how much water a pregnant women in her 8th month should drink a day and / or if the 8 ozs. for every hour awake is ok or not. Thanks

A: If you are having problems with constipation then what you should do try to eat 3 to 5 fruits and veggies a day. The fiber will help keep you more regular. With the water, my doctor told me that I should drink 64 ounces of water a day. I don’t think that it will hurt you if you drink that much water a day because the baby does need lots of water but I don’t think you really need quite that much. Make sure to drink milk for the calcium that you needs for your bones and the growing of the baby.
