I want to make sure I'm drinking healthy things during my pregnancy. I'm tired of just plain water. Which juice is good during pregnancy that is both nutritious and safe?
Please be very careful with fruit juices if you have high sugar or gestational diabetes. I had some complications and my gynac strictly told me to eat whole fruits instead of juices to avoid sudden sugar spikes.
I drank fresh orange juice for Vitamin C, which helps in iron absorption. Just make sure to discuss your diet with your doctor, especially if you are taking thyroid medicines in the morning.
When I asked the chief clinical nutritionist at my hospital, they highly recommended pasteurized or fresh homemade orange juice. They strictly advised against drinking roadside juices due to hygiene risks.
Coconut water is fabulous, and fresh carrot-beetroot juice is also very good for energy. Just avoid canned or packaged juices as they have too many preservatives.
