Honestly bored of drinking only water all day and feeling little dehydrated also in this heat. Im 22 weeks. What other drinks did u all have that are safe, like juices, nimbu paani type cheezein? Share kuch ideas pls.
Drink fresh coconut water, sattu drink, or simple nimbu paani without adding too much sugar. Avoid those sugary soft drinks and packaged juices, they are useless. Stick to simple home-made options.
My doctor at Max recommended fresh coconut water and home-made buttermilk. They strictly told me to avoid canned juices due to preservatives and high sugar content. Do ask your hospital's clinical nutritionist for a customized fluid plan.
Nimbu paani and fresh lassi are cheap, healthy, and easy to make at home. You can also boil water with a little fennel (saunf) and cool it down to drink. It helps with gas and tastes much better than plain water.
Home-made herbal infusions like warm water with mint leaves or ginger can help with nausea. But if you are unable to keep any liquids down due to extreme vomiting, please contact your doctor immediately. Otherwise, coconut water is the safest bet.
I panicked when my doctor said I was slightly dehydrated because I couldn't drink plain water. Then I started taking barley water and buttermilk, and my levels went back to normal quickly. It's a very common phase, so don't stress!
Don't worry, you have plenty of healthy options. Fresh buttermilk (chaas) with a pinch of roasted cumin, or home-made lemon water are great. Just make sure whatever fruit juice you drink is freshly prepared at home for hygiene.
When I was staying at my mom's place, my mother used to make fresh bael sharbat or sweet lime juice for me every afternoon. It was so refreshing and filled with motherly love. Try simple home-made drinks that your elders suggest.
Buttermilk and fresh coconut water are very good options to keep you hydrated. Take small sips throughout the day so it doesn't feel heavy on your stomach.
I recently delivered and during my pregnancy, jaljeera and aam panna were my absolute favorites. They really helped with my digestion and kept my fluid levels up. Just keep the salt and sugar levels in check.
Honestly, I survived on cold chocolate milk because plain water tasted like metal to me. It probably wasn't the healthiest choice, but hey, it kept me sane and hydrated! Find what works for you and just go with it.
I totally understand how boring plain water can get when you are pregnant, sweetie. You can try fresh pomegranate juice or a warm cup of milk with saffron at night. It feels so soothing and is very nourishing for you and your little one.
When I was pregnant, I hated the taste of water so much, it literally made me want to cry. Cold milkshakes with real fruits and simple coconut water saved me. It is completely normal to feel this aversion, just keep yourself hydrated however you can.
