In order to keep healthy for both themselves and the fetuses, women must drink water in a correct and healthy way during the pregnancy. They should maintain the adequate intake of water. Pregnant women should drink a cup of boiled water after getting up. Before and after the work, it is also necessary for women to drink water moderately. The moderate intake of water at the early stage of pregnancy can prevent dehydration and reduce the density of estrogens which can cause gestational emesis for pregnancy women. However, the intake amount of water must be consistent with the activity level of women. The correct way of drinking water for expectant mothers is that they should maintain 1000 to 1500 milliliters of water at the early stage of pregnancy and maintain less than 1000 milliliters of water at the last stage. What’s more, women should drink water every two hours in the day. 

In summer, pregnant women can drink mung bean soup to alleviate the thirst. But it is not suitable for them to drink too much, as the nature of mung bean soup is cold. In addition, tea is also a good choice for women. It contains abundant zinc. If women often drink tea during the pregnancy, the content of zinc in the blood of the fetuses can be relatively high. Therefore, drinking tea is beneficial both for expectant mothers and their fetuses. However, the excessive intake of tea can affect the sleep and indirectly affect the fetal health. Women can drink tea in a moderate amount.

Some expectant mothers still like to drink fruit juice, they think fruit juice can supplement nutrients and improve the skin situation of the fetuses. Some expectant mothers even use fruit juice to take the place of boiled water. In fact, women should not drink too much fruit juice. Except water, fruit juice also contains fructose, glucose, cane sugar and vitamins. These kinds of sugar can be easily digested and absorbed by the human body to endanger the health. Pregnant women should control the intake amount of fruit juice within 300 to 500 milliliters. In addition, the antiseptics and flavouring essence contained in fruit juice are harmful to the health of pregnant women.

In short, pregnant women should learn how to drink water in a healthy way during the pregnancy. The correct way can not only keep women themselves healthy but also improve the physical situations of the fetuses.
