    Are you not allowed to drink it normally?

    Unless you live in an area with fracking (think Oklahoma certain areas) or are under a boil notice due to issues (think broken water mains due to freezing recently) then you should be perfectly fine drinking the usual old tap water.  Personally I am drinking some right now (flavored with Crystal Light Mango tropical flavoring).

    Are you on city water? Then yes. If you have well water and haven't gotten it tested in the last year or so, I would recommend getting it tested. We had an issue at one point with bacteria in our well. However, no one should drink that water...it doesn't matter if you are pregnant or not.

    Better not risk it. The government puts poison in tap water just for funsies.
