I keep adding lemon to my water because plain water makes me queasy now. Is that okay to do daily? It seems to settle my stomach a bit.

Honestly nimbu pani is the cheapest fresh drink and so good for hydration. I made a big jug daily instead of buying packaged juices. Easy on the tummy and the wallet.

My amma always made me sip warm lemon water and it kept me fresh during the day. As long as your tummy feels okay with it, no problem na. But if you ever feel heartburn after, just reduce a little.

Yes lemon is totally fine, I had nimbu pani almost daily in both my pregnancies. It actually helped with my nausea in the mornings. Just dont go overboard if you have acidity issues.
