After pregnancy, pregnant mothers insist on drinking water cups every day in order to ensure adequate amniotic fluid. However, people say that you should drink 8 glasses of water every day. How big should these 8 glasses of water be? Our daily diet already contains water. Do we need extra water when we don't feel thirsty?
In fact, pregnant mothers are particular about how much water they drink every day and how to drink it. After all, only by mastering the methods can they "replenish water" correctly. Now the correct way to open drinking water during pregnancy is here.
The pregnant mother looked at the water glass and worried that Han Xiao was almost 30 weeks pregnant. During the prenatal examination, the doctor said that she had little amniotic fluid and suggested going home and drinking more water. However, Han Xiao heard from other "experienced people" that edema is easy in the third trimester and it is necessary to control the amount of drinking water.
With a glass of water, Han Duan Jr. suddenly fell into a dilemma, whether to listen to the doctor or to the experience of "someone who has experienced it"? At that time, Han provided more worried.
Expectant mothers should pay attention to drinking water during pregnancy. Generally speaking, the water consumption of pregnant women is the same as that of normal adults, and it is only necessary to maintain it at 1000- 1500ml per day. Of course, you can't drink so much at once. It is best to drink it in stages and replenish it in small quantities for many times.
Pregnant women can drink 200ml of water on an empty stomach every morning, which helps to relieve constipation, and then add a glass of water every 2 hours or so that day. At this point, expectant mothers should not bother!
In addition, try not to drink or drink less water before going to bed to avoid getting up frequently because of drinking too much water, which will affect the quality of sleep. And pregnant women had better drink warm water, cold water and normal temperature mineral water.
What are the benefits of drinking water during pregnancy? 1) supplement amniotic fluid.
The most direct benefit of drinking water is to replenish amniotic fluid, because amniotic fluid is mainly composed of water and trace elements, which is very important for the baby, so pregnant mothers should ensure adequate drinking water.
2) relieve constipation during pregnancy
Because the family will take extra care of the pregnant mother during pregnancy, the pregnant mother's nutritional supplement is too good, and it is easy to constipation, especially in the third trimester, which makes it inconvenient to move and reduce the amount of exercise. Drinking water can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and effectively relieve and improve constipation.
3) Drinking water can relieve morning sickness.
Many pregnant mothers will have vomiting in the first trimester, so they should eat less and eat more meals to avoid fasting. Therefore, drinking more water can alleviate the discomfort caused by morning sickness. The experience of some expectant mothers shows that drinking soda water in moderation can also effectively relieve morning sickness.
These kinds of water are not suitable for pregnant mothers to drink.
Pregnant mothers should never drink raw water. Even if they have the habit of drinking raw water before pregnancy, they should try to overcome it when they are pregnant. Especially boiled water, boiled water should be avoided as much as possible.
If the newly boiled water is too hot, and the pregnant mother is thirsty and eager to drink it, she can use two cups and pour it back and forth repeatedly, which will help the boiling water to dissipate heat.
② Ice water
Pregnant mothers often feel hot or "angry", so they like to drink cold drinks and eat cold food, but for the health of pregnant mothers and babies, they must not drink ice water to avoid stomach upset.
③ Use coffee and drinks instead of boiled water.
Some pregnant mothers don't like the taste of boiled water or are used to drinking flavored water, so it is actually impossible to replace boiled water with coffee and drinks.
These additives, pigments and caffeine, should be drunk in moderation by normal people, not to mention pregnant mothers. They are not only useless, but harmful to health.
