Factors To Consider When Choosing Your Water Supply

Drinking clean, filtered water is of utmost importance for you and your baby’s health, during pregnancy and breastfeeding..

According to Nutritionist and Water Hydration Specialist Kate Waterson...

"Apart from all the essential bodily functions that water plays a role in, it is also needed for the following vital functions during pregnancy:

> Forms the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby. Supports the increase in blood plasma volume. Produces breast milk and is essential for good lactation.

> Ensures the vitamins and minerals you are consuming (through food and possibly supplements) are transported into your cells so your body (and baby) can effectively utilise them.

> Helps to keep your body temperature regulated. 

To ensure that your kidneys, bowels and liver are working efficiently, it is important to stay hydrated so that your body can eliminate the toxins from your body and stay regular with bowel motions. Remember that your baby will be excreting toxins also and ensuring that these toxins are being sufficiently eliminated from your system is very important so as not to add increased strain on your baby’s liver and kidneys.

Staying hydrated may help to reduce brain fog and morning sickness. The normal signs of dehydration can be more pronounced when pregnant.

Morning sickness and fatigue, dizziness, brain fog and constipation are the most common symptoms.

Dehydration in the later stages of pregnancy (third trimester) can also cause contractions that can trigger pre-term labour."
