Mineral water during pregnancy

Mineral water during pregnancy is a highly topical issue that causes multiple disputes in both pregnant women on Internet forums and in many medical specialists.

To understand the impact on the body of a pregnant woman has mineral water, it is necessary to understand its varieties. According to the content of useful salts, mineral water can be classified into medicinal, table, and also medical table. The mineral water of the therapeutic direction contains the largest amount of salts (from 10 grams or more) and, by its cationic-anionic composition, is divided into alkaline and acidic mineral water, which affect the secretion of the stomach in different ways. In the medical-dining mineral water contains up to 10 grams of salt, and in the dining room - only 1-5 grams of salt, which do not have an active impact on the secretory functions of the stomach.

Mineral water in the period of childbearing must be selected taking into account the state of health of the pregnant woman and the needs of her body, as well as depending on the existing associated diseases. Thus, medicinal mineral waters such as “Essentuki” and “Borjomi” should be used by expectant mothers only on the recommendation of a doctor. Pregnant women should remember that the unauthorized use of medicinal mineral water, and even in unlimited quantities, can provoke the formation of stones in the kidneys or gall bladder, thereby causing harm to the female body. Usually, therapeutic table mineral water is recommended to be taken in hot weather, and table water - in other seasons.

Donat mineral water (donat) during pregnancy

Mineral water during pregnancy is one of the best drinking options for the expectant mother. The complex of trace elements contained in mineral water is much better absorbed by the body than tablet preparations. Thus, they better show their beneficial properties.

Donat mineral water (donat) during pregnancy helps to compensate magnesium deficiency in the female body - one of the most important elements for the mother and her unborn child. What does the lack of this trace element lead to? First of all, to premature birth and fetal hypoplasia of the child. In addition, due to magnesium increases intestinal peristalsis, which, in turn, prevents the development of constipation in a pregnant woman. It is necessary to note the important fact that without magnesium, it becomes practically impossible to assimilate other useful elements. Magnesium mineral water Donat allows you to solve this urgent problem as soon as possible. A four-week course of the use of this water at any stage of pregnancy makes it possible to fully restore the balance of magnesium in the female body, thereby strengthening the health of the future baby.

Donat Mineral Water (Donat Mg) is the purest water obtained from an ancient source in Slovenia (Rogaška), which has been recognized in many western countries for its centenary fame. The total amount of mineralization of Donat Mg water is 13 g / l. Only 0.5 liters of this miraculous mineral water contains the daily rate of Mg2 +. Typically, the course of its use lasts about a month, which allows for the prevention of many diseases, as well as effectively cleanse the body. If a pregnant woman has a pronounced magnesium deficiency (hypomagnesemia), then Donat Mg mineral water will be the best therapeutic tool for her.

The increased content in the mineral water Donat Mg of such a necessary element as magnesium contributes to the stabilization of weight, as well as the normalization of the digestive process and the elimination of slags.

If a pregnant woman has problems with the gallbladder, then this mineral water is shown to her, since magnesium favorably influences the functioning of the gallbladder and contributes to its activation. Thus, the possibility of developing gastritis and flatulence in pregnant women is reduced.

Donat mineral water (donat) during pregnancy is also used as a “mild” laxative that does not cause any adverse symptoms. Water improves the antitoxic properties of the liver, normalizing all its functions. The increase of magnesium in the blood with the help of Donat Mg water prevents the development of diabetes in pregnant women.

The best effect (both medicinal and prophylactic) is achieved if you drink Donat Mg mineral water at a dosage of 200 ml 20 minutes before meals in the morning and 100 ml during the day and evening. The total consumption of mineral water should be an average of 500 ml per day.

If the purpose of Donat mineral water is to increase the bowels, then it should be drunk quickly, as they say, “one gulp”. In other cases, to improve the absorption of trace elements, water must be drunk slowly.

It should be noted that the Donat mineral water, in addition to the main element, magnesium, contains other equally useful substances that play an important role in the female body during the period when the baby is born: 

• Calcium (takes part in blood clotting, improving its performance, and is also responsible for the proper formation of bone tissue in a child). 
• Sodium (helps to normalize the acid-base environment in the body of a pregnant woman). 
• Sulfates (normalize the properties of the biliary tract). 
• Bicarbonate (reduces the acidity of gastric juice, and also activates the pancreas and gastrointestinal organs).

The mineral water Donat Mg also contains silicon, fluoride, bromine and lithium, which are necessary for the normal functioning of all organs and systems of the female body. It should be noted that this mineral water is indicated for pregnant women who are not magnesium deficient. In any case, it will benefit, because qualitatively improves and accelerates the metabolism.

Inhalation during pregnancy with mineral water

Mineral water during pregnancy can be used not only as a drink, but also for the purpose of carrying out medical manipulations, such as, for example, inhalations. Unfortunately, during pregnancy, the future mom's immunity inevitably weakens, which causes the body to attack the virus and pathogenic bacteria. The common cold, often accompanied by a runny nose and cough, catches up with many pregnant women. Running a cold in such a position is very dangerous, so the expectant mother needs to start treatment as soon as possible. When conventional anti-cold medications are prohibited, proven alternative means come to the rescue - rich drinking, milk with honey, grinding and, of course, inhalation.

Inhalation during pregnancy with mineral water give a very positive effect after the first procedure. We can say that this is one of the most benign ways to treat colds. Inhalation will release a pregnant woman from a cold, making her breathing much easier, and this is very important, because It is very important for the child to receive oxygen in sufficient quantities for full development. In addition, inhalation helps to get rid of the cough reflex, which makes the baby constantly shudder. Inhalation vapor will help relieve the symptoms of a runny nose and a squeezing cough, effectively eliminating the main cause of discomfort.

For inhalation in pregnant women, it is recommended to use low-alkaline mineral water such as Narzan, Essentuki or Borjomi. In case the water is carbonated, it is recommended to open the bottle in advance so that carbon dioxide is released from it. With the same purpose, you can use a separate container, pouring mineral water from the bottle into it, and then vigorously stirring it with a spoon. Within 2 hours, the gas will completely evaporate. What is useful mineral water, if it is used for inhalation? First of all, it helps to relieve cold symptoms due to the content of nutrients and trace elements that, when evaporated, very quickly penetrate into the body of the future mother, effectively reducing the inflammatory process and relieving the bronchi and lungs from sputum. The most important advantage of such inhalation is that it is completely harmless to a pregnant woman and her baby.

In order for the mineral water during pregnancy to help cure the cold as quickly as possible, doctors recommend inhalation using an ultrasonic inhaler, which frees a person from performing any additional actions. To perform an inhalation procedure, it is necessary to measure approximately 5-10 ml of mineral water, pour it into a special reservoir of the device and breathe steam for 5 minutes. If there is no ultrasonic inhaler, you can use an ordinary medium-sized saucepan, pouring mineral water into it and warming it to 50 ° C, but no more, so as not to burn the upper respiratory tract. After that, you should bend over the pan and slowly inhale the steam, having previously covered the head with a large towel. To improve the results of inhalation, the number of procedures should be increased up to 6-7 times a day. Pregnant women during the period of such treatment will have to refuse for a while from walking on the street, because they can trigger a relapse.

Mineral sparkling water during pregnancy

Mineral water during pregnancy is very useful, because it contains a whole range of trace elements and other substances important to the human body. However, expectant mothers should prefer non-carbonated mineral water, because carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide that can cause a lot of trouble: heartburn, flatulence, aggravation of toxicosis, etc.

Mineral carbonated water during pregnancy is not recommended by medical specialists, since it contains phosphoric acid, which can trigger the development of gallstones, as well as urolithiasis. Due to the fact that the kidneys during the period of childbearing work more intensively, a woman's susceptibility to such diseases in combination with the use of carbonated mineral water can cause unpleasant consequences. Mineral water containing dyes is strictly contraindicated to the future mother, since they can cause the development of allergies in both pregnant and baby.

The main drink for the future mother should be clean water, preferably extracted from artesian wells. In the daily diet it should be 2/3 of all the fluid entering the body. Nowadays, many medical specialists recommend that pregnant women take oxygen-containing (oxygenated) mineral water, which prevents the development of hypoxia in the fetus. In addition, among the advantages of such water is a reduction in the manifestations of toxicosis, an increase in the vitality and immunity of the future mother. In addition, this water helps stabilize blood pressure, stimulate cardiac activity, improve overall well-being, and improve the functioning of all internal organs and systems.
