IV Infusions For Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but there are days when it doesn’t feel like it. Symptoms of pregnancy like fatigue, anemia, vitamin C deficiency, dehydration, headaches and morning sickness can make an expecting mom feel terrible.
Morning sickness or not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration. Dehydration can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as fatigue and headaches, which can be difficult for expectant moms to navigate if they already feel tired from the rigors of pregnancy.
Dehydration isn’t beneficial for your baby either. According to the American Pregnancy Association, dehydration can cause complications including neural tube defects, low amniotic fluid, inadequate breast milk production and even premature labor.

If you find it hard to keep fluids down due to severe nausea, an IV infusion for pregnancy offers valuable hydration .
The great thing that makes IV therapy great for pregnancy is that IVs allow your body to absorb these vitamins faster and in much higher quantities than oral consumption allowing you to feel better sooner.
IV therapy rehydrates your body, replacing the depleted fluids you lost due to morning sickness. Our hydrating IV treatments offer powerful symptom relief for many health concerns, including those related to pregnancy and new motherhood.
IV therapy during pregnancy will also help you support your immune system as well. This will help protect you against any future illnesses you might experience. You’ll also be less likely to suffer from any future bouts of nausea and morning sickness.

What Is Morning Sickness?

Morning sickness is a feeling of nausea and/or vomiting which usually occurs during the first trimester of pregnancy; however, some women experience it through their entire pregnancy.
Despite its name, it can occur day or night. Normal morning sickness can be frustrating because it disrupts your daily schedule. Morning sickness can be so severe (hyperemesis gravidarum) that it could lead to serious fluid loss (dehydration).
Nausea and vomiting are the key characteristics of morning sickness. There’s no specific cause for morning sickness.
The increase in progesterone and estrogen hormones during pregnancy may be a factor, as well as a predisposition to motion sickness or migraines, or a pregnancy with a girl or multiples. A bout of morning sickness may be triggered by odors, heat, or spicy food—or it could simply come out of nowhere.

It’s important to know the signs of dehydration with morning sickness:

  • Inability to keep down water or other liquids.
  • Infrequent urination or low amounts of dark-colored urine
  • Dizziness
  • Elevated heart rate
  • Feeling “overheated”
  • Extreme thirst
  • Dry mouth and skin
  • Changes in mood, like irritability and confusion
