tap water
Anybody else hear the drinking tap water is risky during pregnancy cause of what it may contain? I still drink it, but ill stop if there really are any side affects?
I hate tap water. Always gotta be bottled water bt i keep getting told its the same thing lol so idk.
I live in Louisville, ky & were supposed to have the cleanest tap water in America for the past 5 years. We sit right on the Ohio river. My doctor told me to drink tap water because the fluoride is good for my teeth (my kids doctor said the same thing) but there is NO DAMN WAY im drinking that crap or giving it to my kids, Lol SERIOUSLY the Ohio river is Brown & that's what we're drinking... just it's cleaned & what not. Umm.. no thanks. We'll stick to our bottle water lol
We have a purification thing on out tap that I'll use occasionally. Otherwise I use my Britta water bottle that purifies it. I'd stick to bottled water
I Drink It To Never Had Problems Live In Chicago Bt We Have One Of The Best Water Purifiers In The World
I never drink tap water!! pregnant or not! It's a documentary about water on netflix called Tapped!
I'm from America live here too. & I don't trust the tap water period. & I heard it isn't safe for pregnancy. I didnt drink it prior pregnancy & still dont.
Ive always drank tap water and my first baby girl was born perfectly healthy and she still is as will this baby be too im sure.
I live in Tucson, Arizona
When I was 13 in middle school I started missing so much school. I was very tired and started losing hair. I gained a lot of weight. I went from a size 5 to a size 16.
My mom got concerned and took me to the doctor and they checked my blood. I ended up having hypothyroidism. I have taken medication daily since then. My doctor said it was from the contamination of the water I was drinking. Back then we lived on the South side of Tucson and there was a huge thing called TCE there was a huge leak that spread all over the South side and soo mamy people got sick. Some got cancer
there was huge lawsuits I got some money but not much. You can probably find videos online about this story. Peoples water was brown coming out of the faucets. Ours wasn't Brown but I still got sick. Alot of the females in my family got sick and have thyroid problems or other sickness.
Im 35 now so I am paranoid of drinking tap water
I always buy distilled water or purified water.
