We had a small get together and someone offered tonic water, I didnt take it coz wasnt sure. Read it has quinine or something. Is it actually safe in pregnancy ya better to skip completely?
Tonic water contains quinine, which might not be safe during pregnancy. Please ask your gynac before drinking it to make sure you are not putting anything risky in your body.
Many packed tonic waters also have a lot of added sugar, along with quinine. Since I had gestational diabetes, I avoided all carbonated drinks. Plain water or infused water is best.
I was told to stay away from tonic water due to quinine. During my pregnancy and even now post C-section, I prefer fresh homemade lemonade. It is much safer and healthier.
I craved fizzy drinks so much due to my bad morning sickness, but I avoided tonic water because of quinine. If you want something bubbly to settle your stomach, try plain sparkling water instead.
Actually, tonic water has quinine, so it's not really safe, yaar. If you want that fizz, just go for simple club soda with a dash of mint and lime. Much better!
Hi dear, tonic water is generally not recommended because it contains quinine. Try to avoid it and switch to simple soda with a squeeze of fresh lime for that fizzy craving.
I read somewhere that tonic water has quinine and got so scared because I had a sip of it once! It is better to avoid it completely to be safe. Just drink plain coconut water or fresh juices.
Ugh, I miss my drinks, but tonic water is a no-no because of quinine. Better to stick to normal club soda and pretend it's a mocktail while dealing with this heavy belly!
