The Importance of Staying Hydrated During Pregnancy
The Daily Guardian
|June 28, 2025
Staying hydrated during pregnancy is of paramount importance for the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing baby.
Water plays a crucial role in supporting many physiological changes that a woman experiences during pregnancy, including increased blood volume, amniotic fluid production, and metabolism. As the body works harder to nourish and sustain a growing life, its demand for water significantly increases. Adequate hydration helps regulate body temperature, supports digestion and nutrient absorption, reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, and promotes healthy skin. Failure to meet these increased hydration needs can lead to complications that may affect both maternal and fetal health.
One of the most significant reasons to maintain hydration during pregnancy is the increase in blood volume. A pregnant woman's blood volume expands by up to 50% to support the placenta and deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. Water is a major component of blood, and without enough fluid intake, the body may struggle to produce the additional blood required. Dehydration can lead to low amniotic fluid levels, which may result in complications such as restricted fetal growth, preterm labor, or even birth defects. Additionally, low fluid levels can affect the baby's movement and development, potentially resulting in the need for medical interventions.
