Lemon water

I drank powerade every day in early pregnancy as it helped with the constant nausea. Now I'm nearly full term I drink mostly water

Avatar

Iced or ice cold water - never drunk so much water .... first half I drank a lot of apple juice but since diagnosed with GD so had to knock all juice on the head overnight 😢

I always was a tea drinker, can’t stand it now. Cold water all day, helps a little against my nausea. Think the body is hotter more quickly or something. I used to always be cold, now I sleep with the blankets off most of the night. I feel like a radiator!

Slushies always quench my thirst. Lemonade to be exact. Then a bottle of room temp water

Body Armor. I drink it religiously while breastfeeding and I love it. It says it’s “superior hydration” lol but it’s amazing!

Ice cold water, lemonade, and the lemon-lime Gatorade have been my go to!

Sprite. I always wanted sprite 😪

Liquid IV. It was made by a pregnant momma. They have different flavors and they help with hydration. My hubs found them at Costco but I think you can get them on Amazon.

Arizona Arnold Palmer! Obsessed! Only drank it when I was pregnant.

Water is the best thing and herbal teas but not green tea as it’s high in caffeine. Although thirst is usual in pregnancy, excessive thirst can indicate I think gestational diabetes so if you haven’t had the test it might be worth asking a professional about just incase. Xxx

I found cordial in my water helps.... Not strong but just enough to taste different to water! I have also felt ridiculously thirsty too and my midwife said its very normal xx

Avatar

You should try barley tea, caffeine free, subtle chocolate notes and very hydrating and more importantly without sugar

Spindrift seltzer

I drank tons of water and flavored seltzer water (coconut flavor is my favorite), if I was SUPER thirsty and nothing was helping, usually a small can of Sprite over ice did the trick. Anything with coconut water is very hydrating, too! The BodyArmor drinks are awesome!

Big ol cups of water filled to the rim with Ice. Ice helps me the most when my mouth is feeling extra dry.

Water is the healthiest choice, I will have a flavoured carbonated water if I'm craving something different

I have been enjoying drinking milk in my pregnancy this time round (as well as water!) x

Club lemon with my dinner. And Robinson’s diluted pink grapefruit with the water cause plain water is awful to me lol.

I’m having 1 coke once a week for a treat

Avatar

Tons of water and flavored seltzer’s helped me!

Avatar

Water, sparkling water, crystal light, tea, honest juice

Avatar

I chomp on fruit pastille ice lollies like they’re going out of fashion - it’s nice to constantly have something wet in my mouth. When I’ve run out of lollies I’ve also had an electrolyte tablet in water which quenches my thirst.

Cordial or orange Capri sun, and ice lollies!

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts
