Role of water
Supports blood volume, amniotic fluid, digestion, and temperature control. Needs rise in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How to drink
- Sip through the day; more in heat and after exercise.
- Many clinicians suggest roughly 8–12 cups (2–3 L) total fluids daily — individual needs vary.
- Water, soup, milk count; limit sugary soda.
Signs of dehydration
Dark urine, dizziness, headache, cramping — increase fluids and seek care if severe.
Limit
Excess caffeine, alcohol, unpasteurized beverages of unknown origin.
