It's no secret that a person more than half consists of water. Our body can not do without it. During pregnancy, the need for fluid can then increase, then decrease. But the fact remains unchanged: everything you drink must be useful both for you and for the little one.
So we impose a taboo on excessive (more than 2 cups) coffee consumption (blood pressure rises from it), completely exclude from the diet sweet fizzy drinks (increase fermentation processes), alcohol (affects the nervous system crumbs) and ... long live the right drink! By the way, it should enter the body evenly throughout the day. But there are other important nuances that you should also consider.
Calculate the amount
In the period of waiting for a small organism with double zeal, it is stored by the liquid with a large amount of consumed liquid of the pregnant woman. After a child grows, the volume of amniotic fluid increases, blood circulation, heart and kidneys work with increased load, all metabolic processes are accelerated. Very often they are told of themselves by constipation, toxicosis, drooling ... So the thirst that often occurs in a woman in a position (regardless of the time of the year!) Is provoked by the very real needs of the organism (if on the eve you did not lean on salted cucumbers or herring) . Are you wondering how much you need to drink? It depends on many factors. One of the important is the duration of pregnancy. The daily requirement of a healthy pregnant woman in a liquid is 2.5 liters in the 1-2nd trimesters and about 1.5 liters in the third. Take into account: the 20th week of pregnancy is considered a border. It is from this time limit the amount of drinking.
What's in the glass?
If you have already sorted out the volume and amount of liquid of the pregnant woman, the question becomes urgent: what exactly do you need to drink? In the first trimester, there are no special recommendations for drinks (you have excluded all the harmful ones?). So boldly listen to "food intuition". Do you want Uznar? You are welcome! Do you want to taste kissel? If you do not suffer from constipation, then you can too. Do not forget about the water (bottled, well, from the pump room). It is better than any drink quenches thirst. By the way, liquid comes to us not only with drinking. We draw it from fresh vegetables, fruits, first courses. Do not forget about them!
In the last trimester, give more attention to the drinking regime, because the birth is approaching every day. And they are known to be associated not only with a large loss of fluids (intense sweating, discharge of amniotic fluid, blood loss), but also with some problems (for example, ruptures), which are quite possible to avoid. Three weeks before the expected date of birth, the basis of the drinking regimen should be dairy products - yoghurt, fermented baked milk, kefir, narine. They and the elasticity of the tissues will be increased, and the bowel work will be adjusted.
One week before the delivery, give up the fermented milk in favor of decoction from the flax seed (1 tablespoon per 250 ml of boiling water). It will prevent the mucous membranes from drying out.
On the day of birth, drink a decoction of thyme, mint, lemon balm, oregano, dogrose, currant, raspberries (take in equal parts). This drink will ease the contractions and help the cervix to open faster.
Special cases
From some ailments, which are often the companions of a pregnant woman, you can get rid of with therapeutic drinks. Prepare, drink and do not get sick!
Toxicosis
Make ginger tea. Cut off from the root of the plant a piece of 1 cm, sodium it on a grater and pour boiling water. When a little cool, add a teaspoon of honey. Drink small sips with interruptions.
Heartburn
Chamomile tea will help. 2 tbsp. Spoons of flowers pour half a liter of boiling water and hold on the fire for about 5 minutes. When it cools down, strain and drink three times a day for 100 ml before eating.
Constipation
During the day, lean on the fermented milk. And at least once a day, squeeze yourself a carrot frash (you can with an apple or celery). The main thing, do not forget to add a spoonful of olive oil and drink it right after cooking.
Edema
With this disease, you need to reduce the intake of salt (minums to a minimum!) And liquids (no more than 700-800 ml per day!). Proceed, every day alternating, a curative course of teas: sporicha, cranberry leaf, juniper (brew 1 tsp raw material for 200 ml of boiling water).
