about a month ago i went to the doc and told them i was haveing a hard time staying hydrated and i was always thirsty. she said that as long as i drink alot of water along with the gatoraid it should be fine, she did say that gatoraid has alot of sugar and to keep an eye out for how much i am drinking because the sugar, but it is perfectly ok to drink gatoraid. its the stuff with caffine or the stuff that they put in diet cokes that you gotta watch out for.... my doc said diet cokes are BAD BAD BAD.... :)

Gatorade is okay if you drink moderate amounts of it :] Don't drink too much, because too much sodium is bad for you. You shouldn't have more than 2300 mg of sodium a day. So check the nutritional label on the side to make sure how much you are taking in per serving :] I would drink water though. Maybe add those Crystal Lite powders or something. They are clean and healthy :]

Having moderate amounts of Gatorade along with your usual supply of water, milk, and other drinks you need is totally fine. Mostly your body needs the water, but Gatorade doesn't have too bad of ingredients to harm your child. It does have sugar you'll want to keep in check, but otherwise a glass or 2 every day should be okay.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and recently started craving orange gatorade. I will go thru a 96 oz. jug in two days. Aside from all those carbs(like I need to gain anymore weight), I think there is no problem with it!!! Good luck with the baby!!!1

I hate water and when I was pregnant my doctor advised me to drink Gatorade because it is the next best thing. Hope this helps! Good Luck with your pregnancy!

Gatorade is great for you, especially if you are feeling dehydrated! It contains electrolytes and is what they give little kids with diarrhea when pedialyte is too expensive or not available. I could not hold down water for awhile during my morning sickness (weird, I know), but gatorade I could keep down! It was wonderful!

gatorade is A-ok. be sure to throw in some regular water in there too. and if ur not hungry you dont have to eat 3 big meals as long as u have various lil meals through out the day you should be ok.

if gatorade doesn't have caffeine and if it doesn't say to not drink during pregnancy, then it's fine.
Be sure to drink water throughout the day.

just monitor the sodium intake with that. Too much sodium will make your feet swell. Keep drinking lots of water to help flush out alot of the sodium if and when you do drink it.

definite, you may. maximum folk of medical doctors say this is fantastic to drink throughout the time of being pregnant. the sole factor i could think of two times approximately is the quantity of sodium interior the drink, meaning if I have been you, i could drink it yet purely not too a lot each and every of the time.
