Built for Pregnant Women

Hydration built for pregnancy, not just anyone.

Your water needs go up the moment you see that positive test. Thirsty Girls calculates your exact daily goal and cheers you on — without the lecture.

Example goal · 155 lbs · Lightly active · pregnant

103 fl oz

12.9 cups · 3.1L per day

Pregnancy increases your daily water requirement by about 10 fl oz above your personal baseline. That's on top of adjustments for your weight, activity level, and trimester. Generic "drink 8 glasses" advice doesn't cut it when you're growing a person.

Why hydration matters for pregnant women

Supports amniotic fluid levels

Adequate hydration directly maintains amniotic fluid, which cushions and protects your baby throughout pregnancy.

Reduces swelling and cramping

Counter-intuitive but true: drinking more water helps reduce the water retention that causes pregnancy swelling and leg cramps.

Prevents preterm contractions

Dehydration is a common trigger for Braxton Hicks and, in severe cases, early labor. Consistent hydration reduces this risk.

Eases morning sickness

Small, frequent sips — especially in the first trimester — can help settle nausea and keep electrolytes balanced.

Common questions

How much water should I drink while pregnant?

General guidance is about 10 cups (80 fl oz) per day, but your actual need depends on your weight, activity level, and how much you sweat. Thirsty Girls calculates a personalized goal using your specific stats plus the recommended pregnancy bonus.

Does the app know I'm pregnant?

Yes — during onboarding you can select "pregnant" as a health consideration. Your daily goal is then calculated with the appropriate increase built in.

What if I struggle to drink enough due to morning sickness?

The app's quick-log feature lets you log small amounts throughout the day. Even 2–4 oz at a time adds up. Your AI coach will celebrate consistent small wins.

Can I use this alongside my OB's advice?

Absolutely. Thirsty Girls is a habit tool, not a medical device. Always follow your doctor's specific guidance — the app just helps you actually hit the goal they give you.
