Pregnancy Hydration Needs
Pregnancy hydration needs increase with blood and amniotic fluid—steady water through the day supports training, nausea recovery, and heat safety.
Pregnancy hydration needs rise with blood volume and amniotic fluid—water, electrolytes from food, and steady sipping through the day beat chugging only at workouts. Dark urine, headache, and dizziness can signal dehydration, especially with nausea or heat.
Limit reliance on sugary drinks; caffeine counts toward fluid but has its own caps.
