Although it is not recommended to eat for two during pregnancy, it is recommended to drink a lot more water ! From the inside and out, it is very important to remember to hydrate properly during pregnancy.
Water needs that increase during the
Did you know that a pregnant woman's water needs increase from 1.5 liters to 2 liters per day ? Good hydration is synonymous with good maternal transit, and therefore less risk of constipation. It also prevents urinary infections, nausea and water retention. Good hydration during pregnancy will also ensure the transport of nutrients to the fetus. Increasing your water intake is therefore synonymous with better functioning of your body , but also that of your child.
Why drink water during pregnancy?
To ensure amniotic fluid volume
Its water needs increase in order to promote good maternal-fetal circulation and guarantee a sufficient volume of amniotic fluid and blood for the healthy development of the fetus! A pregnant woman carries 7 to 10 liters of extra water ! Consuming 2 liters of water per day is essential for the health of the future mother and her baby.
To prevent urinary infections
When pregnant, the urinary canals function a little less well and bacteria are not properly eliminated through urine. Thus, the risk of urinary infection increases. Drinking more allows you to eliminate more often and therefore prevent urinary infections in the future mother.
To reduce water retention
During pregnancy, pregnant women may suffer from water retention. By drinking more water, and preferably water low in sodium, the pregnant woman limits this problem because she eliminates more. This is one of the best tips for preventing the phenomenon of heavy legs that we often observe in pregnant women. In addition, this will limit your weight gain since you will store less liquids.
What water to choose during pregnancy?
Choose very low mineralized water for pregnancy!
With these increasing water needs, the kidneys are put under greater strain. The kidneys filter more water during pregnancy, going from 180L to 240L of water per day. We must therefore avoid overloading the kidneys with minerals, in order to maintain their proper functioning. This is why it is recommended to choose very weakly mineralized water , such as Mont Roucous . There are many different bottled waters available but some are not necessarily suitable for pregnancy. Mont Roucous is a natural mineral water with a dry residue of 22mg/L. It therefore does not overload the kidneys and promotes elimination. This is the water recommended during pregnancy and even after for your child. If you do not want to buy bottled water for various reasons, be sure to filter your tap water with an effective system proven to limit the consumption of undesirable components.
Avoid dehydration!
Dehydration can harm your health and that of your baby. In case of fever or extreme heat, compensate for water loss by drinking more water! A word of advice: drink regularly throughout the day, without waiting for the feeling of thirst. You can vary the drinks, with detox waters or herbal teas, but remember that what you need to drink in the largest quantity is simply water.
Compensate your physical needs with your diet:
Also remember to eat fruits and vegetables , they are full of water. This way you supplement your water intake! We tend to forget it, but foods also contain liquids. A varied and balanced diet will also contribute to the good development of your baby.
What about skin hydration?
Moisturizing care during pregnancy
To achieve beautiful, healthy-looking skin , there's nothing like good hydration. In addition to drinking water for internal hydration, you must remember to provide your epidermis with its dose of external hydration . But be careful, before rushing headlong, don't forget that the needs of pregnant women require the use of suitable cosmetic products. It is advisable to opt for products without harmful ingredients for mother and baby in utero .
The Daylily Paris range meets these needs. Indeed, our treatments are natural, hypoallergenic and formulated without endocrine disruptors, without alcohol, without essential oils, etc. They were developed with an expert midwife in order to obtain effective and appropriate care from the first month of pregnancy. Cruelty-free and vegan, the treatments are also compatible with breastfeeding.
Hydrate your body well
In order to maintain the hydration of your skin all day long and prevent the appearance of stretch marks , Le Lait fondant is applied in the morning all over the body. It intensely hydrates to keep skin beautiful and smooth throughout pregnancy. Complete it with the application of Sensory Oil every evening which will nourish your skin.
