Is drinking cold water bad during pregnancy?

Question

It's so hot these days and i really crave thanda paani all the time. But my saas keeps stopping me saying cold water is bad for the baby. Is there any truth to this or can i drink it?

Heena Shukla · Answer

No, it's not bad at all. I drank cold water throughout my pregnancy to stay hydrated at work, just avoid it if you have a cold or throat infection.

Sudha Iyer · Answer

My tracker app clearly says cold water is perfectly fine and doesn't affect the baby. Just drink what makes you comfortable, especially if you have acidity.

Staying hydrated is key, whether it is room temperature or cold water. Just ensure you are active with your daily walks if your doctor has allowed it.

Poonam Bundela · Answer

Actually, room temperature water is better for digestion according to Ayurveda. But if you have extreme nausea, cold water can sometimes soothe your throat.
