WATER AND PREGNANCY

The importance of water during pregnancy, its consumption and possible pregnancy outcomes as a consequence of suboptimal water quality  is sometimes neglected.  Consuming or coming in contact with contaminated water can have a wide range of adverse outcomes, including but not limited to hypertensive states /renal damage during pregnancy, preterm delivery, heavy metal poisoning and teratogenic effects.  In this short review we have aimed to withdraw attention of the community on the importance of clean water supplementation during pregnancy.
