Anyone else having trouble drinking enough water or liquids while they’re pregnant, or is it just me?

with my first pregnancy, I couldn’t stomach plain water and always had to add lemon or some sort of water flavor enhancement, or was simply drinking lemonade or diet root beer(not great, I know)

currently pregnant with my second & still cannot stomach plain water, I always add lemon juice, and sometimes a ‘mio unwind’ with magnesium and B vitamins.

I also use a brita pitcher for my water, with the ‘elite’ filter. But I constantly have to remind myself to drink more water or “force drink” it a lot of the time.

Again, am I the only one who can’t stomach plain water while growing a tiny human being?? just curious to see what other women’s experience has been

Any recommendations on cloth diapering?

I am currently pregnant with my second baby and plan to use cloth diapers, thinking about using reusable wipes as well to cut back on harsh chemicals + saving money, reducing waste, etc.

I used all disposables with my first and don’t have a lot of information to go on; but I have watched countless videos on YouTube & have read several articles about cloth diapering, washing routines, stripping, inserts/prefolds, AIO, pockets, etc.

I plan on using pocket diapers, so far I’ve purchased a set of wegreeco diapers and inserts & plan on buying AlvaBaby as well

Does anyone have certain brands they really liked or disliked? Washing routines/tips? Buy new or preowned?

open to advice! thank you 🌸

I have a registry set up on Amazon (it’s pretty much just a checklist for myself to prepare tbh) but I don’t have family or friends to share with.

Any recommendations or comments/stories about someone who has been in a similar position ?

Is it appropriate to share a link to my registry online? not really sure

(with my first child I never had anyone buy from my registry nor had a baby shower)
