Eversince I got my first bout of morning sickness since week 8 of the pregnancy, I never liked drinking plain water. The sight of plain water sends nausea down my guts instantly. I only like flavored water but it must be unsweetened water coz anything that’s sweet also made me nauseas. So what I do now everyday is put sliced lemon, fresh strawberries or fresh ‘kam quat’ in my mug of water so that the water has a fruity smell and taste.
From gulping down 16 glasses of plain water a day pre-pregnancy, I can only force myself to drink a max of 8-9 glasses of water now. No wonder I’ve got so much zits on my face now. Also, without sweating and exercising, all the toxins are not released from my body. How I hate those ugly zits on my face that’s once flawless and smooth!
I also like to drink diluted unsweetened organic cranberry juice and promegranate juice with acai berries, goji berries, cherries and other berries. Occasionally, I drink decaffienated tea like Chamomile tea, Peppermint tea and Citrus Lemon tea.
I’m into my 15th week of pregnancy now and the morning sickness has subsided but I still feel nauseated after each meal, when I’m hungry or when I’m tired or sleepy. I just can’t wait for the 38th week to arrive. If everything goes smoothly, it’s going to be another elective c-section for me at week 38 as I’ve had c-section for my 2 previous pregnancies too.

16 glasses of water pre-pregnancy? wow, you sure drink like a camel. haha.
i too opted for c-sec. call me weird, but i cannot imagine squeezin a baby out. it sure hurts like hell.
No need to take plain water if ur hormones forbid that. Just make sure u get enuff fluid, any drink will do. 😉
I hope your hormones get better, can’t imagine not liking plain water.
hehehe…the comment by shern’s mom is funny….you drink like a camel. LOL. Wow..the stuff you are drinking now are really expensive eh? we can get acar or goji berry juice here? only knew abt these juices from doing the paid reviews…hehehehe
can also try a hint of ribena in your water? that’s what i did cos i hated plain water too…..i had very bad “all day” sickness cos i was put on hormone pills the 1st trimester.
Wow..u’re “sai lei”, ask me to drink 8 glasses water a day also so hard, and u have to drink 16 glasses!
maybe you should minimize on those juices, those juices are known for weight loss, correct me if im wrong.
Girlie… is that right? The 2 organic juices taste like Ribena. I know lemon juice is known for weight loss but I dont drink the juice, I just put one slice of lemon into my mug of water to get the fruity taste.
