During pregnancy, the hydration needs will change and the child’s health depends on the mother. Water flushes waste products from the cells and aids in liver and kidney function for both mom and the baby.
During pregnancy, water is also needed for the body’s expansion as mom’s blood volume increases significantly. Insufficient fluid intake can be a factor in constipation, preterm labor, and even slight dehydration can cause or contribute to fatigue.
It’s best for lactating mothers to drink mostly water. If you want more variety, flavor the water with a squeeze of lemon or lime or a bit of your favorite juice. Fruit infused water however is a great way to avoid drinking only pure-water. Fruit servings should be high in vitamin C and folic acid, and one in vitamin A, which is way I recommend these fruits:
Papaya, Oranges, Grapefruit, Strawberries, Raspberries.
You may combine Oranges and Grapefruit on an infused water bottle and stay hydrated all day long.
