  Yeah water is recommended to drink just was t sure if that would add too many electrolytes to your system

  What I am worried about is the artificial sweeteners. Can't say I eat the healthiest, though.

  Yeah that's another thing because artificial sweetners are in a lot of foods I guess you just act cautiously but still live your life without being overly cautious about it.

  I don't recall seeing anything about Smart Water on the list that my OB gave me of things to avoid or never consume. I don't recall seeing anything about it in my pregnancy books either but if you are worried about it- I would check with your OB.
  I thought I remembered seeing a similar thread on here but I just looked and couldn't find it- sorry!!!
  
  Some artificial sweeteners should be avoided (I think aspartame is the name?) or used infrequently if possible but I think Stevia is safe. I am on a GD diet so I have used Splenda occasionally in sugar free stuff but I am not happy about it and try to use only when all else fails and I need something sweet!

  Me 36/DH 46 Me: Low AMH (.21) DOR, mild endo; Started seeing RE 11/12
  Jan-March '13 3 IUIs Clomid + Trigger = BFN

  April '13 IVF 1 MDLF converted to 4th IUI due to 3 runaway follicles! BFN

  July/Aug '13 IVF 1.2 Long Lupron = 7R, 6F, 2T= BFP!!!

  Beta 1=512, Beta 2=1,368 Beta 3= 4,128

  It's a boy!!!!

  SUA, GD

  EDD 4/26/14

  
  He's Here! Arrived 4/15/14!!!!
  
  September 2015 - FET with remaining embryos
  Twins! EDD: 6/14/15
  
  PAIF/SAIF Everyone welcome!

  You're allowed to drink Gatorade and stuff that has electrolytes in it...it was actually recommended to me to help with the morning sickness. I don't see why you couldn't drink water that had electrolytes in it.

   

  eta: I also could swear someone asked about smart water a few weeks ago on this board. Maybe you can search and see what people's answers were in that one.

  Yeah probably a silly question to ask just didn't know if you could throw off your body's natural electrolytes by drinking water with extras added in.

  I thought you already asked this? If you're super concerned just ask your doc.
