Wondering what to drink while pregnant in your first trimester? Needing a little something to combat pregnancy exhaustion, fatigue, nausea or insomnia? These 6 first trimester drinks will give you a little extra oomph so you can rock your early pregnancy! From smoothies to teas to mocktails, these healthy beverages have what it takes to make the start of your pregnancy something special.
What to Drink During Pregnancy Besides Water
If you’re used to drinking a lot of highly caffeinated, sugary, or (ahem) alcoholic drinks in your regular life, you may find pregnancy feels a wee bit restricting when it comes to beverages.
Are you looking for what you could possibly drink during pregnancy besides water?
Well (and surely you knew I was going to say this), START WITH WATER! Water is so important for pregnancy, so definitely be drinking water as much as possible. If you have a hard time with just plain water, I do have 2 recommendations for you.
First is this naturally sweetened electrolyte drink. You can get this in packets or a larger container with a scoop. All the flavors are pretty good. My whole family uses this from time to time
While I do think electrolytes are a great idea, sometimes you just want something sweet and not water. I love and highly recommend this brand of naturally sweetened lemonade and beyond. You can get different types of lemonade, limeade, and other fun drink flavors that keep your beverage intake interesting. Plus I love that they are sweetened with stevia. My kids and I love them.
Healthy Beverages as Pregnancy Self-Care
Preparing a drink for yourself (or even better having someone prepare one for you!) is such a calming and grounding ritual. I love the simple routines of making a cup of tea or a cocktail.
In my humble opinion, beverages can be a source of self-care.
You take a moment to brew tea and you can breathe for just a little bit.
Someone special makes you a cocktail and you allow yourself to sit down and relax while you drink.
Drinks are awesome, and when you’re in the midst of a new pregnancy, that level of self-care and grounding is extra-important.
