Water is grossing me out...

I used to drink about 6 bottles a day. Now I can barely sip it and drinking it makes me nauseas. Any suggestions? I need to keep hydrated obviously but I don't want something with a lot of calories or sugar.

    The light blue gatorade is about all I can handle right now. Plain water makes me feel ill.

    I can relate. Plus it gives me heartburn worse than anything else. Lemonade, watered down fruit juice, mint or cinnamon tea, milk, and 7-Up were about all I could handle when I was in the early months.

    During my first trimester the thought of water, fruit or vegetables would make me sick. I got through it with tea and bread.

    My 2nd pregnancy I was like this. Typically all I drink are water and coffee, so it was so odd to have such an aversion. I bought fruit juice and added it to mask the water. At first it was about 50/50 and by the end I was just at a splash.

    I am the same way! I haven't figured out how to handle it yet. I used to drink tons of water, like 20 cups a day and now I'm lucky to get 5. This is my third pregnancy and I've never had this problem :s

    It's been weird since I've only had water for awhile now. I can drink the G2 grape so. I actually had 2 bottles of water today, too. Someone suggested those water add-ins. So I might try that too!

    Adding lemon slices to water helped me be able to drink it. I always drink a ton of water but that was the only way I could drink it during the first trimester.

    Lemon slices and flavored water enhancers helped me to drink more water.
