Hydration during pregnancy is important because mom and baby’s health depend on it. For baby, the amount of water mom drinks impacts the volume of blood and amniotic fluid that surrounds baby to help keep them healthy. For expecting moms, good hydration supports digestion and blood flow, circulating nutrients to where they need to go and flushing the body of waste, preventing issues such as constipation. It is recommended for pregnant women to aim for drinking 10 glasses of water per day. After birth and while breastfeeding, mom’s hydration needs increase even more to about 13 glasses of water per day. Now that’s a lot of water!
