Water Intake Calculator for Pregnancy

Calculate recommended water intake during pregnancy. Stay properly hydrated for your health and baby's development.

Proper hydration during pregnancy is crucial — water helps form the amniotic fluid, produces extra blood volume, carries nutrients to the baby, and reduces common issues like constipation and swelling. Pregnant women need about 25-30% more water than non-pregnant women.

Tips for Water Intake for Pregnancy

1

Aim for at least 10 cups (2.3 liters) of water daily during pregnancy — more if active or in hot weather

2

Dehydration during pregnancy can trigger Braxton Hicks contractions and reduce amniotic fluid levels

3

If plain water causes nausea, try adding lemon, cucumber, or drinking sparkling water
