The quality of tap water may vary between different areas and have, for example, a high lime content. In addition, chemical compounds resulting from disinfection of the water with chlorine may also be a cause for concern.

For this reason, many specialists advise drinking natural mineral water as a safer option. In addition, this type of water provides minerals and trace elements that are beneficial for pregnancy.
