Hi, I am in first trimester of my pregnancy. I am not able to drink more than 2 glasses of water a day. Is it very unsafe for my baby? I feel like vomiting whenever I see water. Please help as I already had a miscarriage earlier and I am very nervous this time.

Hi Anjali. This happens with many moms. What helped me was that i didn't think of drinking water as a task. I would take small sips every now and then from a glass and never from a bottle. Bottles used to give me a feeling of drinking bulk. You can also makr drinking water fun. Put water in a pretty looking glass with a straw and add a bit of lemon. All the best!

It is natural to feel nauseous at this time. However fluid intake is important. Don't think about drinking a whole glass at a go. Take sips. Keep two bottles of one litre handy and keep sipping thru the day. If you don't like the taste of water you can add a couple of slices of lime to the water and let it settle and then sip on this water. Additionally items like butter milk and coconut water are also good substitutes.
