Hydration Calculator – Daily Water Intake for Pregnant Women

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but staying properly hydrated can sometimes feel tricky. Your body needs more water than usual to support the growing baby, boost energy, aid digestion, and maintain overall wellbeing. The Hydration Calculator helps you estimate your ideal daily water intake easily, with practical guidance, real-life examples, and interactive features—all without confusing medical jargon.

💧 How to Use the Hydration Calculator

Simply enter your current weight (kg or lbs) and select your daily activity level. The calculator considers your body’s needs during pregnancy, then suggests a practical daily water intake. You can also save your inputs locally so you don’t have to re-enter your details each day. This ensures you always have a quick reference for hydration.

🌿 Practical Tips for Daily Hydration

• Keep a refillable water bottle with you all day. Seeing it often reminds you to sip water.
• Include naturally hydrating foods in meals, like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and tomatoes.
• Divide your water intake across the day rather than drinking large amounts at once.
• Track your hydration visually—pale yellow urine generally indicates good hydration.
• Adjust water intake according to climate and activity level—hot days or exercise require more.
• Add natural flavors like lemon, mint, or berries for variety without sugar.
• Use the calculator daily to track your water intake. Your inputs are saved locally for convenience.
• Listen to your body: thirst, fatigue, or headaches are cues to drink more.
• Pair hydration with small, healthy snacks for energy and to prevent nausea.
• Plan water with meals—one glass before and after each meal keeps intake steady.

🍽️ Example Daily Hydration Plan

Here’s a detailed day plan to make it easy and practical:

• Morning: 1 glass water on waking, 1 fruit smoothie, 1 glass water before breakfast.
• Mid-morning: 1 glass water + 1 hydrating snack like apple or cucumber sticks.
• Lunch: 2 glasses water with a meal including lean protein and vegetables.
• Afternoon: 1–2 glasses water, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
• Evening: 2 glasses water with dinner, plus 1 glass herbal tea if desired.
• Before bed: 1 small glass water to stay hydrated overnight.

💡 Hydration by Pregnancy Stage

First Trimester: Focus on small sips frequently to reduce nausea.
