Have you tried coconut water?

A friend of mine was saying how coconut water is really good for you. I bought some at safeway today to try it out. I looked up the health benefits and its touted as being a great thing to drink while pregnant and breastfeeding...I bought 4 cans but think i'll stock up on it. It actually tastes really good.

It alleviates vomiting

It soothes the stomach

High in potassium, magnesium and other alkalizing minerals, coconut water can help to create an environment more conducive to conception and perhaps even reduce the risk of miscarriage.

It keeps the body hydrated ? nature?s ?sports drink?

It is a mild laxative ? drinking moderate amounts of coconut water can help to keep things running smoothly and relieve the constipation so common during pregnancy.

 It boosts the immune system

It cleanses the kidneys and offers protection against UTI?s

It promotes healthy lactation - promoting both brain and bone development in the infant

the list goes on and on......

    I LOVE coconut water...in fact, I just picked some more up today. I drank it all day the day I was in labor to keep me hydrated.

    It's got electrolytes (it's got what plants crave)...sorry, couldn't resist!

    Is it in the juice section? In a bottle, can? Sounds yummy!

    Our doula recommended it for during labor, as it keeps you hydrated and more energized than just water.  I drank it, but didn't really love the taste.  In smoothies sounds like a really good idea.

    Oh, and it was at Whole Foods with the other juice-drinks in the cold section, and also in a display case at the end of an aisle, unrefrigerated (might have been two different types).  They can direct you to it - I couldn't find it at first.

    I heard about it recently too...the electrolytes being good for labor and laxative thing. Haven't tried it yet, but was thinking about it.
