Here’s some sources besides eggs:
🥚 3 egg yolks = ~440 mg
🥩 3 oz beef = ~115 mg
🥢 1 cup edamame = ~87 mg
🐟 3 oz salmon = ~75 mg

Pregnancy needs = 450 mg/day, but❗️new research suggests up to 930 mg per day may be even more beneficial for mom + baby. That’s a HUGE difference!!

Thank me later, because plain water is not your on Thank me later, because plain water is not your only option in pregnancy. 💛

If water is sounding boring, hard to tolerate, or just not cutting it right now, here are 10 pregnancy-friendly drink ideas to mix it up:

1️⃣ mineral water with lemon or lime
2️⃣ coconut water (add a splash of OJ for more flavor) 
3️⃣ water with an electrolyte packet (comment EP3 for options!)
4️⃣ milk
5️⃣ warm water with lemon and ginger
6️⃣ a Greek yogurt or protein smoothie
7️⃣ pregnancy-safe herbal iced tea (comment TEA2 for my current favorite!)
8️⃣ a simple 3-ingredient mocktail: pomegranate juice + sparkling water + fresh mint
9️⃣ bone broth
🔟 fruit- or herb-infused water (like mint, cucumber, and lemon)

Hydration often gets easier when it actually sounds good. And drinks can do more than just help with fluids. They can also be a simple way to support protein, minerals, and electrolytes too 🙌🏼

💕 If you’re new here, hi. I’m Ryann, a prenatal dietitian, and I help people figure out what to eat during pregnancy to support both mom and baby.
