It is important to drink lots of water during your whole pregnancy.
Try to lower your intake of caffeine
in coffee and regular tea. Caffeine
can cause
you to have headaches
and interrupt your sleep. Aim for 8
cups of water a day.
If you enjoy herbal teas in place of coffee these are some of the
safe ones to have
during pregnancy:

Ask your health care provider about other herbs or herbal teas that are safe to use in pregnancy.
It is important for you to take a prenatal vitamin while you are pregnant, even when you follow the eating guidelines. You and your baby need extra vitamins and minerals during this amazing journey of pregnancy and eating food alone cannot meet all your growing baby's needs. Taking supplements alone without eating healthy food will not give you or your baby the energy or fibre you need.
