Drinks...

Lucy_lu_84 · May 18th, 2008, 06:39 AM

Well I went of tea weeks ago - just can't took the stuff. Leaves a nasty taste in my mouth . I've been drinking loads of water recently...but over the past few days that's leaving a nasty taste in my mouth. So is blackcurrant juice... it's driving me mad.

Cos I know I need to keep my fluids up but makes me not want to cos they all taste horrid!

Ergh not had any sickness yet either - but also past few days my food seems to sit really heavy on my stomach and makes me feel a little sick!! Errrgh lol

Anyone else have same problem with drinks?

I go off Tea, have done with all my pregnancies (I usually drink 10+ cups a day!) I found the only thing I can stomach first thing in the morning now is Milk and then water or Juice throughout the day. But I really have to make myself drink or I just wouldnt!
Yet within hours of having my two lo's I was gagging for a cuppa!
I am suffering with nausia (sp) with this pregnancy which is horrible, but Im hoping it will pass when I get to 12/13 weeks as it did before xXx

Did you try putting Crystal Light in your water? It might help.

I used to love oasis, ribena and cherry aid. Can't stand the stuff now. I am stuck on sprite and water! You'll have to start trying some new drinks see if there's one you've started liking. I had to do that.

Ive gone off tea too and i used to pretty much only drink tea.

Now i chop and change, one week its fruit juice by the gallon, then ribena, then capri sun's and the flavour of the day is cherry coke, the real one though not diet, not had it for years as i dont do full fat drinks but i seem to be getting a taste for it

I've found that even water leaves an odd taste these days.. had to go back to drinking diluted stuff ..

I don't drink much tea normally but when I was first pregnant I drank quite a bit (decafe of course). Now it's warmer not so fussed.

I find orange and apple juice a bit tart, but mixtures of fresh juice is pretty good.

The local juice bar is a must of mine right now. They do great mixtures, my favourite is Carrott, apple, orange and ginger. The ginger is great if you are having morning sickness. Now they know I'm pregnant they have recomended adding a shot of spinach or broccali juice to it (for folic acid and iron) and you can early taste it.
