Patient's question:
At 19 weeks pregnant with no other symptoms, can I drink Powerade to supplement fluids? Any suggestions.Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, pay attention to your diet. Do not drink carbonated drinks, nor should you continuously drink pure water. You can drink Powerade, and also drink tap water appropriately, as it contains various minerals. Maintain a balanced nutrition during pregnancy, including meat, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. Do not be picky about food. Regular check-ups are important to monitor the development of the fetus and your own health status. At 19 weeks of pregnancy, you can undergo the Down syndrome screening to check for any chromosomal abnormalities.
