Water and Pre-Term Delivery

1. Drinking lots of water while pregnant is good for your health. And, not drinking enough water can cause a baby to be born too early. The amniotic fluid that protects and cushions your baby, and regulates his body temperature, is mostly water. When there is not enough fluid, the body has to deliver the baby or the baby can greatly suffer. Drinking two or three glasses of water can often stop premature labor.
