Fruit juices, smoothies,teas. Limit soda and caffeine
Non caffeinated non alcoholic drinks are generally recommended. You cannot go wrong with water.
Everything is pretty much safe, except alcohol. It is everything in moderation. 1-2 sodas per day, 2-3 8oz of tea or 2 cups of coffee are safe. You can try the crystal light packets to aid with flavoring water.

At least 3 liters or one gallon of water is recommended in pregnancy to keep up with the increased blood volume during pregnancy. You can add electrolyte powder in water or add fruits and leave it overnight to flavor water. Milk or nut milk is recommended for calcium. Coconut water is another option.

Water and milk. No alcohol. Natural unsweetened fruit juices on a limited basis.
