Hey I can't drink water, I try as it's "good for you" but if I do I feel sick and often throw it bak up. I can drink fizzy pop fine?? Do anything like this happen to anyone else xxx

If you aren't keeping fluids down then you should see a doctor, you might be getting dehydrated. In the meantime, I always found milk was great To keep down (I had hyperemesis)

I had hyperemisis too, both pg, and could only drink fizzy water. Nothing else at all, then could manage grapefruit juice after about 20 weeks.

Drink whatever you need to to stay hydrated.

Try ice cubes/ ice lollies they have been amazing and on doctors recommendation

This happened to my SIL as well, she ended up on sparkling water, you can always add a squash/cordial for flavour.

Yep, been there. The only drinks I can keep down at the moment are fizzies and anything milk based. The main thing is to stay hydrated.

I lived on caffeine free diet coke for months. If you want normal water, try drinking it a half glass at a time. That was the only way I could manage it.

I had this. It didn't last past the three month point.

I had this, drink whatever you can that you can keep down. You may find that putting some cordial in the water helps, I found making hot ribena was the trick when it got really bad.

I couldn't drink water either. Lived on strawberry milkshake for the first 14 weeks.

lizziekal · 05/12/2013 08:21

First trimester I couldn't drink still water but was okay on fizzy water.

Strongecoffeeismydrug · 05/12/2013 09:09

I don't
Like water , or pop or any type of juice.
I've just been drinking lots of skimmed milk or a few cups of cold green teaWink( sounds awful but it's very refreshing).

FizzyBoobly · 05/12/2013 09:11

Had the same here, the mere thought of water made me feel nauseous. Add some squash to it though and I'd be fine

whereisthewitch · 05/12/2013 09:15

Try it ice cold. ..I put bottles of water in the freezer for a few hours and just before they freeze take them out. The water will be ice cold and much easier to drink or I would add some diluted juice to it.
Ice pops are great too I always have a stash now they help with the nausea.

Hawkmoth · 05/12/2013 09:18

Or try it warm. I kept pint glasses on top of the radiator. Also was compelled to drink from the shower, but since this is disgusting I won't recommend it.

SliceOfLime · 05/12/2013 09:19

Try taking tiny sips through a straw?

Naomilouise1992 · 17/12/2013 03:07

Hi I had this too. I discovered that adding just a tiny amount of cola to the water helped keep it down. Also had it hot. Even a tablespoon full was sufficient.

moreyear · 17/12/2013 08:38

I had this with both my pregnancies, it's horrid.

Icy cold and sparkling helped me keep it down. I also drank soda water a lot and I only took tiny sips.
