Best drinks during pregnancy

Water

It might seem obvious, but you need to drink a lot of water during pregnancy to stay hydrated.

Not only is water good for your body – it reduces swelling and the risk of UTIs, as well as keeps your bowel movements regular – but it's also good for your baby, increasing the blood flow that give your baby the oxygen and nutrients they need.

Generally, you can aim for about 10 8-ounce glasses of water per day.

But since this amount is dependent on so many things (like your weight, activity level, and even the weather!), check with your healthcare provider if you're not sure exactly how much water you need.

And yes: Tap water is totally safe to drink during pregnancy.

In fact, as long as it's clean, tap water is even safer than bottled water, since there are fewer plastic contaminants.
