Question about Drinking (not about alcohol)

I'm a few days shy of being 14 weeks and had a few questions. First, are any of you soon to be mommies drinking as much water as the doctor recommend? Because I'm having a hard time but of course am keeping hydrated. And second, is it bad to drink soda? I only drink cafffeine free and not all the time but my husband insists its bad for the babies skin.

    I don't drink near the water they tell me to. I work in a production setting and with me being sick so often if I add the twice an hour pee fest. . . I timed it it takes me 9-11 min each trip. I'm already on write up good chance I'm going to loose my stupid job over my crappy bladder

    Im pretty sure im drinking close to if not more than what they tell me. I keep a water bottle with me at all times. Im more likely to drink the proper amount if its already in my hand or at arms reach all day. Although I do have a weakness for rootbeer and orange soda....or any fountain soda!!

    I'm not a big fan of drinking water, but when I do drink it I add a pack of wylchers light to give it flavor.

    That's no good @beaded_bunny! I think it's illegal for them to fire you for using the bathroom too much. I don't know though maybe you'll want to look into it.

    Thanks ladies. I thought I was the only one. I'm trying to drink at least 1 liter of water a day & then just juices or whatever since they say any fluids count towards the amount.

    @3rdandlast4me What are wylchers? What store do you get them from.

    @beaded_bunny She's right you can't get fired or your company shouldn't fire you over that. I would look into it.

    I craved coke and Pepsi with my first two hardly drank water. There skin is perfect, they are perfect. And this one I crave mt.dew and sprite. And ice water but only like twelve ounces of water s day. I need to drink more, but why change my diet when I have ate this same way with my first two and they are fine and I am fine. Lol, do what you feel Like hun in my opinion.
