Information
Eating water during pregnancy is completely acceptable and encouraged because it is essential for the health and well-being of the mother and the baby. During pregnancy, your body needs an additional amount of water to function properly and to support baby's development and growth. Water helps maintain body temperature, eliminate toxins and transport essential nutrients to cells. It is also necessary for the balance of liquids and electrolytes, to facilitate intestinal movements and to provide protection to internal organs. As such, eating water during pregnancy is a good idea. It is advisable to drink at least eight to twelve glasses of water per day to maintain good health and general well-being. Although water is the best source of liquid during pregnancy, non -alcoholic drinks without caffeine and fruit juices can also be consumed. However, it is important to limit the consumption of sugary drinks, as they can contribute to weight gain and complications during pregnancy.
