No. Lots of sugar.: Smart water *sounds* like it's healthy but it's not. One bottle has 7 teaspoons of sugar, even more than 12 oz bottle of coca cola [though i'm not saying that you should drink coke instead]. Plain water is healthiest. Crave flavor? Add a slice of lemon, lime, orange or cucumber. Make your own iced tea [flavored green tea or herbal tea]. Only thing smart about it: makes your pocketbook smart. Ow.

No: No. The only benefit is that the 'smart wanter' people get rich.

Is it ok to use soapy water instead of wipes during changings?

Yes: Definately, or even just a wet washcloth. That's what our mothers used! wipes are convenient, but sometimes can worsen rashes.

Amniotic sac rupture: "water breaking" is when the sac holding the baby's amniotic fluid ruptures, typically causing a gush or persistent trickle of fluid. This usually occurs at the end of pregnancy or during labor when the cervix is starting to dilate, disrupting the membranes. Occasionally it can happen prematurely which requires hospitalization.

Can my water break in the absence of other symptoms?

Yes: Yes and since your water breaking is an important event (at any time when you are pregnant) you should always inform your obstetrician if you think you broke your water; even if you are not sure. You do not need to experience a large "gush of fluid" in order to have broken your water.

What will it feel like when my water breaks?

Gush of fluid: Usually when your water breaks it feels like a gush of fluid. It is usually clear with a pink tint and no odor. Urine will be yellow with an odor. Sometimes it can be a trickle of fluid that doesn't stop. If you are not sure put on a pad for an hour and see if it is wet or call your doctor and they will do an exam.

Do I sweat out a couple lbs of water everytime i'm on the bike?

Maybe: Depending on how hard your workout is and on where it is, you easily could sweat that much. Make sure you replace it with nonalcoholic fluids.
