Water is the stuff of life. I know we've all heard it but how many of us take it to heart? It's the perfect beverage, particularly with no calories or detrimental effects. When you're pregnant, staying hydrated can help alleviate some nasty symptoms including preterm labor due to dehydration. Some even say that cold water is a great cure for morning sickness. But how do you get the water you need every day? Share Your Tips

Fill it up!

I put a two liter pitch in the fridge every morning and my goal is to empty every day. I know I don't want to have to chug it all before bed because I'll be up all night in the bathroom. So it helps motivate me to drink it throughout the day. If I'm going out, I just pour from the pitcher to my water bottle. It helps keep me honest.
