We teamed up with our friends at Jovē to discuss hydration and pregnancy. Jovē is alkaline water clinically shown to provide skin and cellular hydration–something that we can for sure say is extra important during all stages of pregnancy.

Water seems to be the fix-all for basically any ailment these days. Stressed out? Drink water. Feel sick? You’re dehydrated. And you know what? Many times, water is, in fact, the solution. And during pregnancy? Staying hydrated is especially important.

According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, water helps with digestion and helps the amniotic fluid around the fetus.

“It’s extra important to stay hydrated when pregnant because dehydration can cause contractions (not typically labor but still uncomfortable),” Shieva Ghofrany, OBGYN, and founder of Tribe Called V, tells us. “Since the volume of water, you need to drink increases, your need to urinate increases, making it harder to stay hydrated while pregnant.”

And after pregnancy, staying hydrated is even more important. “The pregnancy hydration requirement is lower in pregnancy than even during lactation because adequate water intake is needed for your body to produce milk.”

Which is why the type of water you’re drinking matters.

Why alkaline water?

“Impurities and contaminants can be found in tap water and bottled water,” says Tammy Hobbs, CEO, Jovē Wellness. “Any form of untreated water has the potential to contain micro-plastics, fluoride, chlorine, rust, sediments, bacteria, parasites, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, tri-halomethanes, heavy metals, organic chemicals, particulates, and mold.

Another thing? Jovē doesn’t have any of that yucky stuff and is free from Fluoride, BPA and Chlorine, sugar, gluten, etc. “It also does not contain FDA-designated allergens including; milk, eggs, peanuts, tree, nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat,” adds Hobbs.

Why Jovē?

“Jovē uses our exclusive patent-pending ACH Technology ® (Advanced Cellular Hydration) to create water that is deeply hydrating at the skin and cellular level. Deep Hydration® occurs when your body and cells receive the necessary water to support vital functions,” Hobbs says. “Jovē is clinically shown to provide skin and cellular hydration to affect the symptoms of dehydration.”

Jovē’s proprietary water technology contains patented liquid silica, an essential mineral that increases alkalinity and supports healthy hair, skin, nails, and bones, and is charged with electrons, a primary source of energy for our body and cells.

Also, it tastes great! Jovē bottles are 100% recyclable, and with every purchase, a donation is made to support Ocean Clean up through Jovē’s partnership with TerraCycle.

Good for you. Good for skin. Good for babe. Checks all our boxes.
