A member asked:
My water intake during pregnancy is usually very good, 8+ 8 oz a day. i fell short a little bit yesterday and today. will that affect my baby?

You are fine: If your intake fell to a point where it would affect the baby, you would have massive symptoms yourself such as light-headedness, thirst, dry mouth, etc. The system will steal stuff away from your body to give it to the baby first, so if you are low on something, you will deprive your body before the baby. Thanks for doing such a great and inexpensive thing for your baby - drinking water!!!
