My dr. told me to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, does this mean 8-10 8oz. glasses or water bottles at 20oz

im not sure how much water i should be drinking, i dont have any medical condtions other then being pregnant so for the average person does a dr. mean 8oz. glasses of water? i have 20oz water bottles should i only be drinking three 20 oz water bottles or still 8-10 20 oz water bottles?My dr. told me to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, does this mean 8-10 8oz. glasses or water bottles at 20oz
The average glass of water is 8 oz of water. Therefore if your bottle has 20 oz, you are getting two and a half glasses. If you drink about 4 bottles a day, taht would be the equivalent of 10 8oz glasses of water, so just go by that. Don't drink 8-10 bottles though. You can die from drinking too much water and I think that would be too much water. Just stick to 3-4 bottles a day.
Yes, when health professionals say a "glass" of water, they mean 8 oz... kind of confusing. More water wouldn't hurt you... that's just the minimum.
Good luck with your pregnancy and best wishes!
just drink as many of the glasses of water as you can up to the 8=you should be alright
Your doctor probably means 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water a day. You can always call and ask for clarification, and if your doctor gives you instructions, you should never leave the office until you understand them. Your health is very important.
a glass is 8 0z. you can do it either way, just add up the oz of water you drink! Little more wouldn't hurt like if you drink a bottle water at 20 0z instead of two glasses of 8 oz water!!
