I usually drink warm water throughout the day, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm second-guessing everything. Is drinking hot water good for pregnancy, or should I switch to room temperature water?
I am currently in my 20th week and my family keeps telling me to drink warm water to avoid infections, but it sometimes makes me feel slightly nauseous. Does anyone else feel like avoiding warm water? I hope switching to normal room temperature water is completely fine.
Lukewarm water was a lifesaver for me, especially after my C-section to help ease gas pain and constipation. During pregnancy too, warm water kept my digestion very smooth and comfortable. Just make sure it's mild and soothing, not too hot.
Warm water is perfectly fine and actually helps with digestion and constipation during pregnancy. Just make sure it is not boiling hot, as extremely hot liquids aren't recommended. Drink normal lukewarm water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
I used to keep a thermos flask of warm water at my office desk because it was quick and helped soothe my throat during long meetings. It's great for digestion, especially when you don't have time for fancy home remedies. Just keep it lukewarm, not burning hot, to stay safe.
During my consultations at Fortis, my nutritionist clearly told me that staying hydrated is key, whether it is warm or room temperature water. Please don't force yourself to drink hot water if you dislike it. Just ask your hospital care team what works best for your body.
