Drink less, pregnant women have a fast metabolism, and they seem to be thirsty soon. If they drink too much, they will go to the toilet more often, so they will be fine. Xiaomei can't bear to catch up with squatting.
For this matter, she specially consulted the doctor during the prenatal examination. The doctor first praised her for paying attention to this problem.
Then he said:? Pregnant women should pay attention to drinking water, because of amniotic fluid, blood volume and their own metabolism, they need to drink enough water every day, but drinking too much will also hurt the fetus. ?
So how do you drink it? How much is appropriate to drink every day? Let's have a look!
How much water should pregnant women drink every day? ▼ Guidance and suggestions
According to the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, the daily drinking amount of ordinary people is about 1500ml, and that of pregnant women should be 1700? Two thousand milliliters. If the expectant mother has no idea about this, she might as well use the vacant mineral water bottle to calculate and keep the recommended daily drinking water.
▼ Drink by weight
Pregnant mommy should decide the amount of water to drink every day according to her physical condition. Overweight pregnant mothers should drink more water every day, about 2500 ml.
Ma Bao, who is underweight, can drink less. 1500? 1700 ml.
▼ Adjust according to amniotic fluid volume.
If the prenatal examination finds that there is too much amniotic fluid, the pregnant mother should also drink less water at this time, and the specific amount of water should be in accordance with the doctor's advice.
What is the best water for pregnant women to drink? For pregnant mothers, the most suitable drinking water is warm water. In addition, you can also supplement water through milk, yogurt, soybean milk, low-concentration juice, soup, porridge and so on.
Warm water is not the only choice. Pregnant women can flexibly replenish water according to their own preferences.
▼ The following items are not suitable for pregnant women.
There is no boiled tap water: don't misunderstand warm water. Does anyone know tap water? Boiling temperature? Drink it. This is not right. The specific way is to boil the water, and then put it in warm water before drinking.
Boil water repeatedly: in this way, the concentration of harmful substances such as silver nitrite, nitrite ion and arsenic in water will increase relatively, and long-term drinking will easily lead to blood poisoning of pregnant women and endanger the mother and fetus.
Coffee, strong tea water: caffeine, cola alkali and other substances contained in it are easy to excite pregnant women, which will stimulate them, raise blood pressure and accelerate their heartbeat. Excessive caffeine may also lead to fetal organ dysplasia.
Ice water: it is easy to cause diarrhea and uterine contraction in pregnant women. Drinking ice water is not recommended in winter and summer.
Soda: Some women like to drink soda before pregnancy, but they have to change it after pregnancy. Soda is easy to cause flatulence and physical discomfort.
Beverages: Beverages contain some additives and preservatives, which are harmful to oneself and the fetus. In addition, many drinks with high sugar content will also induce pregnant women to suffer from gestational diabetes and be overweight.
What are the benefits of drinking more water for pregnant women? ▼ Promote defecation of pregnant women. With the growth of the fetus, the oppression of the uterus on the bladder is more obvious. At this time, the gastrointestinal peristalsis function of pregnant women will be relatively weakened, and many will have constipation.
Drinking plenty of water can promote digestive function, soften hard stools and help alleviate the discomfort of going to the toilet during pregnancy.
▼ Reduce urinary tract infections. After pregnancy, the resistance of expectant mothers will be weakened, while vaginal secretions will increase, increasing the chance of urinary tract infection.
Drinking warm water can increase the frequency of urination, thus flushing the urethra and reducing the risk of urinary tract infection.
▼ Increase amniotic fluid volume. Amniotic fluid plays an important role in protecting fetus. Fetal oligohydramnios can be supplemented by pregnant women drinking more water, and drinking more warm water will make amniotic fluid clearer.
