Its so hot here and i felt very weak and dehydrated yesterday, almost fainted. Was thinking of taking ORS but not sure if its fine during pregnancy. Im 20 weeks, anyone took it?
ORS is usually safe and helpful to stay hydrated, especially with vomiting or diarrhoea. The main thing is the cause, if you are losing a lot of fluids, get checked too. ORS handles hydration, not the underlying issue.
Yes dear ORS is okay to rehydrate, my doctor allowed it when I had loose motions. Sip slowly. If the problem doesnt settle in a day or you feel very weak, then please call your gynac.
Yes ORS is generally fine in pregnancy when you are dehydrated or had loose motions. I used it both times when I felt weak. Just dont overdo it daily for no reason, and if vomiting or loose motion is severe, see the doctor.
I kept ORS sachets handy at work during pregnancy, totally practical for those weak dizzy days. Its safe for hydration. But if youre vomiting a lot and cant keep fluids down, dont push through, ring the doctor.
