Is it ok to put lemon and limes into my water?

Llindsay0927 · March 2011

I know this may be a stupid question but I seriously have no idea and I love lemon and lime in my water at all times. Just curious what any of you have been told or heard about this? TIA!!!!

JacquelineTyler · March 2011

I put lemon in my water all the time, go ahead!

BellieRue · March 2011

It's fine.

desy_dawn · March 2011

It is 100% fine. I drink it all day long!

I love limes in my water (yum!) and when I feel sick I suck on limes to settle my stomach lol. Probalem is throwing up afterwards doesnt always feel great.

But it won't harm the baby at all.

BettyBookworm · March 2011

Yes! The smell of lemon/lime is great to combat m/s. Also there is the little bit of vitamin C that you get each time. If it is appealing to you then go for it. I have substituted mostly lemon-y water over ice for my iced tea. Its really great.

Are you being serious?

Llindsay0927 · March 2011

Thanks ladies for the input. What I read on google said there was acid and that made me worry or something like that but I didnt research it alot. Sorry.

RobotLegs · March 2011

So did you think you couldn't have any fruit at all?

I'd be dead, that's pretty much all I want. Limeade, orange juice, oranges...

Lemons and limes are fruits - full of Ascorbic Acid (also known as Vitamin C). Fruits are good.

The acid can harm your tooth enamel if you eat the lemon or lime straight-up, but is perfectly safe for pregnancy. Some women's teeth are more sensitive in pregnancy so that's where it might be uncomfortable (but not unsafe).

i would just be a little weary about any residual pesticide on the rind. maybe cut the rind off, or make sure you wash the citrus first.

I've been living off of lemonade the last week Big Smile

There was a study done a few years ago that found bacteria on the lemons in most restaurants . . . I haven't had restaurant lemons since.

You can only have limes during the week your ticker says your baby is the size of a lime. That is the ONLY time during pregnancy it is safe.

CherryStarburst · March 2011

Lemons and limes in your water are fine but make sure you don't drink anything carbonated while pregnant, the carbonation makes the baby too light and they'll float up into your ribs, its really dangerous. I'M TOTALLY SERIOUS. ::cough, cough::

stephm0188 · March 2011

No. The acid in lemons will melt your baby's face off.

Crap. Maybe that was the Charlie Sheen disease that melts off faces.

Forgive me.

RobotLegs · March 2011

You also need to watch out for Lime Disease!

Bahahahahahahahahaha....

Ahahahahahahahahahah....

On the lemons and limes, they are only OK if you don't care that the acid in it will cause your baby to have skin that tastes sour.

Looks like this is YOUR window of opportunity! Have some key-lime pie for me!!!

lew0509 · March 2011

You guys are all hilarious, I love it!

lanie30 · March 2011

LOL @ this.

Ok so, no restaurant lemons, no super sour lemons because they'll melt your baby's face off and FOR GOD's SAKES GET ORGANIC ONES!

Oh man. Good laugh for today.

mmbaby32 · March 2011

LOL!!!!!

No, please don't use lemon in anything while pregnant. There was a woman in Nigeria in 2007 who gave birth to this:

The world doesn't need any more lemon monsters. Please stay safe.

This picture is full of win!!
