Is Lemon Juice Intake Safe During Pregnancy?
Hi, im 19 weeks pregnant and i was just wondering if it is safe for me to drink hot water with lemon juice? I had pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome in my last pregnancy and my little girl had to be delivered at 24 weeks. Sadly she passed away half an hour after she was born and i was critically ill so this time i just feel extra cautious. Im taking aspirin prescibed by my consultant this time and so far this baby is very healthy. I am 25 years old,5 ft and weigh 8 stone 4lbs.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion lemon juice with hot water can be taken during pregnancy.It is safe.Lemon is rich in vitamin C which is also very useful.As you got preeclampsia in previous pregnancy you need to be cautious regarding the BP as there might be recurrence in a few cases.Anyway avoid stress regarding anything.Relax.Take adequate rest and adequate fluids.
