Question

At 19 weeks pregnant without any other symptoms, can I drink Powerade to replenish fluids? Please give me some advice.

Answer

During pregnancy, it’s important to pay attention to dietary habits and avoid carbonated drinks as well as drinking only pure water. You can choose to drink Powerade to moderately replenish fluids, and also drink tap water appropriately as it contains various minerals. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet during pregnancy, including the intake of meats, eggs, fruits, and vegetables, and avoid fad diets. Also, make regular check-ups to understand the development of the fetus and your own health status. At 19 weeks pregnant, you can consider undergoing a Down syndrome screening to check for any chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
