I'm 19 yrs. old and this is my first pregnancy. It's really hot over here and I was wondering if drinking Gatorade is bad for my baby?

My brother's girlfriend was drinking soda, and the doctor said no. She started to drink Gatorade instead, and he yelled at her for that and said she'd be better off drinking soda. I think that might've been because of the calories though.

Drinking Gatorade or any high calorie sugary drink is bad for YOU, including too much fruit juice. However, I let my family drink that stuff when they are playing a lot of ball and out running around in the 98 degree weather and actually sweating it off. Small children should not be given sports drinks unless they are diluted w/water because they are too concentrated.The evil thing about sports drinks is that folks think they are nutritious because they are associated w/ "sport". Lots of water is great for your baby and for you, but if you want sugary drinks, watch your serving size. good luck w/the baby!

When drinking any type of drink make sure that there is not a whole lot of Vitamin A. Too much of this can cause problems with the baby. I would just keep it in moderation and have some decaffinated tea. I lived off of that since you need to drink more and need to keep the cafeine down.Best of luck!

Electrolyte replacement sports drinks are fantastic especially with hot weather! -------------
While PG it's good to drink 48 oz fluid per day. Drinks with caffein don't count since they are a diueretic and I would avoid artificial sugar.

It will be good for the fetus, especially if it's following its training and workout schedule. Have you had your WeeWorkout Inter-Uterine Gymnasium equipment installed, yet? It's not exactly a piece of cake, but it's SO worth it.

I think you'll get better advise from your pediatrician than you will from a message board.

I've heard that too much sodium could be, but as long as you don't over-do it, you should be fine.

most likely not, it is probably good for you as it contains the electrolytes that your body needs when it is working hard.
