What to drink

[laura6032]

Near 2 months into second pregnancy sickness levels high, not as bad as first time but last few days really sick.

I am do thirsty but nothing I drink helps, feel like I've tried everything.

I'm normally a tea drinker went right off tea I've tried orange, lemon, lime, fruits, I'm sitting most nights with water but so thirsty.

Any suggestions xx

Pink grapefruit squash did it for me, but only the one from M&S

[Fidgety31]

Lemonade

[Icklepickle101]

Orange juice and lemonade was my go to in the early weeks

[strawberrysparkle]

Try flat lemonade or flavoured water

[Creatureofthenight]

I drank Vimto non stop!

[abc12345]

Elderflower cordial, fresh mint, lime and fizzy water
(It’s like a mojito but without the rum!)

[Juancornetto]

I'm drinking cordials made up with tonic water at the moment. Robinson's do a nice lime and mint one

[troodiedoo]

Ginger beer or tea?

[mommybear1]

Sparkling water was my go to but also tried it with lime which was lovely. Ginger ale was also a favourite in the first few weeks, full fat Pepsi was a guilty and very restricted pleasure- Bottlegreens sparkling ginger and lemongrass was lovely, lemonade, summer fruits squash and the Robinsons squeezy squashes were really nice - good luck OP

sparkling water and coca cola were the only things that worked for me.

Have you tried ice lollies?

[WinkyisbackontheButterBeer]

Lime cordial and soda or a mix of lemonade and fresh orange juice both helped with the horrid thirst.

I also drank alcohol free beer and bitter lemon as I craved bitter things.

[lifechangesforever]

Coke and pre orange juice are my thing at the moment

Tonic?

[Almostthere15]

I like cold caffeine free coke (well I like real coke but needs must). Really cold water with chopped lime and/or mint leaves. Mint tea is good too.

[laura6032]

Pepsi ice cold with lemon was what I had with first.
Def wanting a ginger beer or ale though and grapefruit sounds good.
Also sure I'm wanting fizzy so fresh grapefruit with sparkling water.
Shopping tomorrow lol, thank guys.

Also good to know I'm not the only one with a mega thirst xx

[LaBelleSausage]

Grapefruit juice and tonic water was the other one I loved. Congratulations on your pregnancy OP

Same as abc12345! I was coming on here to say my favourite non-alcoholic drink when pregnant (or driving) was elderflower, fresh mint, lime & fizzy water, over lots of ice. Lovely cafe in Cornwall gave me the idea! I always take the ingredients if visiting pregnant friends.

Fizzy water helped when I was thirsty but tap water wasn't hitting the spot. I've also had success with just putting a slice of lemon in a glass of tap water or a mug of boiling water.

Now that I'm past the sickness stage, fresh and bitter tastes are good. So elderflower, ginger, rose and San Pellegrino lemonade are my treat drinks.

[Ollivander84]

Bitter lemon, ice cold

[Sup3rnan]

Ginger and lemon tea. Ginger is good for sickness

[Thishatisnotmine]

Sparking water. Nothing fancy, just the cheap supermarket stuff

[EastDulwichWife]

Orange juice and lemonade! I could still drink about three pints of it now, given the opportunity.

[Magpie24]

I am so thirsty too! I had a diet cherryade thing from M&S that was super satisfying

[butterfly198615]

Coke was the only think that helped my sickness. I hated.original coke cola but my dh drinks it so o asked for a little bit at first and it helped with the sickness so I stuck with it until I found Morrisons sparkling strawberry and kiwi water, that helped too . Don't think they make anymore. I couldnt stomach tea .With my daughter orange juice helped x

I also went off tea. Then one day I took a sip of DP’s sugary tea (I normally have it without) and it tasted great. I’m now back on tea, with one sugar. Might be worth a try.
