How much water to drink in 9th month of pregnancy?
I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and trying to stay well-hydrated. How much water is recommended to drink in the 9th month of pregnancy? I want to make sure I'm drinking enough.
I just delivered last month and my doc strictly told me to drink at least 3 liters of water daily in my 9th month. It really helps keep the amniotic fluid levels good and prevents early labor. I used to keep a marked bottle nearby so I didn't forget!
Look, you need to drink around 8 to 10 glasses of water daily, especially now in your last month. Don't gulp down too much at once otherwise you will be running to the washroom every 5 minutes. Keep sipping slowly throughout the day.
I am only in my 5th month but I already struggle to drink even 2 liters of water because of bloating. Does it get harder to drink water in the 9th month? I'm worried my amniotic fluid might drop if I can't drink enough.
I totally understand how heavy and tired you must be feeling in your 9th month, dear. Drinking enough water is so important to keep your sweet baby safe and healthy. Please try to have coconut water or fresh juices too if you find plain water boring.
Carrying twins meant I was practically living in the bathroom anyway, but drinking 3 liters of water was a must. I used to add some lemon or mint to make it easier to swallow. Just keep a bottle with you constantly, you're almost at the finish line!
Actually, the recommended intake is about 2.5 to 3 liters of fluids daily in the third trimester. This helps with blood circulation, amniotic fluid, and prevents urinary tract infections. If you experience swelling or less urine output, do consult your gynac.
