Our whole family drinks diluted pure cranberry juice. We get it concentrated in little bottles. The great thing about it is that if it's too sour (or too sweet, if you're used to sour) you can dilute it more.
I'm a big fan of seltzer water. My favorite is the fancy mineral water in glass bottles (e.g. Pellegrino, Mountain Spring, etc) but I'm happy with tap water fizzed up with our soda siphon.
Do you like herb tea? My favorite is rooibos.
A squeeze of lemon always makes plain water more appealing.
Coconut water isn't super low-carb, but it's a nice natural drink and it has some minerals.
You might try kombucha or kefir, but it takes a lot of effort to make it.
For a dessert drink, we like to have coconut milk smoothies. You can blend in berries, or just stir in vanilla or egg yolk with nutmeg, depending on your preference.
My wife always had to have some salt in her drink when she was pregnant. Sometimes I would just stir some unrefined sea salt into it, but most of the above things had enough minerals that she was usually ok.
A lot of these drinks take a bit more time than bottled drinks or powdered drinks, but you should ask your partner to make the effort. After all, you're pregnant!
