OK, I am in the same boat as you with the drinking but my midwife told me to put in into perspective. Every thing we eat is made up of water - esp if you eat soups, cereal with milk, yoghurt etc so don't panic if you aren't drinking 5 glasses a day. As long as your thirst is satisfied and you try to drink a glass with a meal you will be fine. Another really good way to have more liquid if you feel you should is Ice lollies.
Your midwife will monitor your urine and blood and any problems will become apparent so try not to worry.

I guess your unborn child's well being is not enough...
Just start drinking good tasting bottles water, its the best. If you don't like it you will eventually start to enjoy it, I mean most of our body IS water anyways. The reason why you go to the loo so much when you drink water is because you are dehydrated. When the body doesnt get enough water it stores it much like fat. So when you first start drinking water, your body starts to shed the excess water it doesn't need, since it is getting a good supply. Eventually it all evens out and your loo habits will be normal again.

I hate water, too.
You can eat more vegetables that have a high water content.
Try flavored water ... Crystal Light is good. Propel is also pretty decent.
Drink tea instead. It's just flavored water, too.
Whenever you take your prenatal vitamin, drink a glass of water. Washing it down with the water takes the focus off the drink itself ... you just want that pill to go down!

Buy flavored water, there are some out there that taste really good. Also, if you keep at it, your body will get used to the intake of water and you won't have to go to the bathroom so much.

Try flavored water. I hate water to but when I knew I had to drink some I would flavor it or buy the flavor water in the store. It tastes funny at first but you get use to it.

Boil a kettle of water, let it go cold and then pour it in a jug and put slices of Lemon or Lime in the water and place it in the fridge. NO CALORIES at all.

Mix it with nice tasting juices.
I know that going to the loo so often is annoying, but it's something that you have to do for your health and your babies health.

Flavored water, or put slices of fruit in the water.
