Frost Bite: Perfect for those days where you are sweating in places that you didn't even know existed. Remember the days of regular 'ole boob sweat? Well try DDD milk-producing boob sweat. Not hot. Well, actually it IS hot, really hot, temperature wise... whatever. You get the point, this drink will cool you down.

Sparkling Cucumber Limeade: For those days when you have no idea why the hell they call it "morning" sickness. And why does everyone insist that it only lasts the first trimester? Try all day/all night/all pregnancy. Perfect to settle the "what is up with my stomach for 9 months?!" feeling.

Virgin Bloody Mary: Headache, blood shot eyes, just not feeling "quite right." You could be hungover or you could just be recovering from another long night of pregnancy insomnia. The traditional drink to cure hangovers is also perfect for those mornings that your over sized belly and pregnant mind racing kept you from sleeping more than 30 minutes at a time.

Watermelon Breeze: This is the perfectly pretty summer drink. A beautiful drink because pregnancy is beautiful, right? Sure, except when it's not. Like after discussing things like mucus plugs with your doctor or plucking a hair from your chin. Guzzle this mocktail when you need something, anything to make you feel girly and pretty.

Green Tea "Mojito": It is no secret that pregnant women need to eat healthy. Apparently lime flavored Skittles and mint chocolate chip ice cream aren't the "greens" they are talking about. This is the perfect light mocktail for when your pregnancy craving has led you right past the produce section into the bulk candy aisle.
