Does drinking ColdWater during the whole trimesters of your pregnancy really bad for you and your unborn baby?
I am 29 weeks pregnant,starting from the very first trimester of my pregnancy I could not drink water unless it is chilled or ice cold one. I even buy Mango Shakes to satisfy this need of drinking something cold. But recently, I got sick and tired of listening to the old ladies from my neighbors saying that I should not be drinking cold water during the whole time of my pregnancy because it is bad for unborn baby and they even call me hard-headed for not listening to them... is it true?

I wouldn't have thought so, I have never heard of this before,
It is true that you body has to cool the water before it can be absorbed by your body, so if you were really thirsty you may become dehydrated before you body can absorb the water, but if you drink regularly, I wouldn't think it would matter.

What? I've never heard of this! I too crave cold stuff. Icees, ice cold drinks, ice cream etc. I think it's a myth. If it was soo bad, I'm sure OBs would mention it at the first prenatal appointment! In fact, drinking a cold drink can help monitor the baby. Sometimes, depending on woman and baby, drinking a cold drink or eating ice cream gets the baby to move! I do it all the time when I feel it's been too long without feeling him move and want to ensure all is fine. But ask your OB is your still concerned although, I'm sure it's all not true. Good luck. :)

I don't think it is true. I've never heard or read anything like it. And I've drank ice cold water, smoothies and milk shakes throughout both my pregnancies.

No, not at all. In fact, it is very good for you and your baby to drink plenty of water. It does not matter what the temperature of the water you drink is, as long as it doesn't burn you of course. Don't listen to those old ladies. They are just old fashioned and superstitious. I've had 4 babies and drank lots of ice water while I was pregnant. I promise you, it won't hurt your baby at all.
