Been feeling really weak and dehydrated since yesterday, barely able to eat. I have those ORS packets at home and was wondering if its okay to take during pregnancy. Anyone used it?
Yes, ORS is fine when you're dehydrated or had loose motions. I used it when I felt weak. But if the dehydration is severe or you can't keep fluids down, see your doctor.
Beta, ORS helps when you feel weak or after vomiting, it's gentle. At home we also gave nimbu pani with a pinch of salt and sugar. But if you feel very dizzy, do tell the doctor.
ORS was a big help to me when vomiting left me drained. It kept my energy up. Just sip slowly, and if you really can't hold anything down, your gynac should know.
