Kvass during pregnancy

As you know, not all foods and drinks are useful during gestation. That is why often the future mothers are interested in doctors: is kvas allowed during pregnancy and, if so, which one. Let's try to answer this question.

How useful is kvass?

The fact that this drink in its composition contains a small fraction of alcohol, does not diminish its usefulness for the future mother in any way.

Natural kvass has many vitamins (B, E), trace elements (magnesium, calcium ), which are simply necessary for the body. In addition, that with the help of this drink you can quench without difficulty the thirst, the expectant mother, drinking kvass in moderation, improves the work of her intestines (kvass has a somewhat laxative effect).

Do all women in the situation can have kvass?

It turns out that not all women can pamper themselves with this drink while waiting for the baby. So kvass during pregnancy can not drink if a woman:

• high blood pressure;
• there are liver diseases;
• processes of digestion are broken;
• there are stones in the urinary system;
• flatulence takes place.

Also worth noting that this drink has some restrictions on the duration of gestation. So, in the third trimester of pregnancy from kvass it is necessary to refuse, since. when it is used, the processes of gassing in the intestine increase. They, in turn, can lead to an increase in the uterine tone, which eventually ends with premature birth.

If we talk about whether pregnant kvass can be pregnant in the first or second trimester, then during normal current pregnancy, doctors do not see contraindications to the use of this drink in moderate amounts.

Which kvass is better to choose?

Doctors, to the question of women, whether it is possible for pregnant women to drink shop kvass, answer negatively, while at home they approve. The whole point is that the beverage of industrial production contains many preservatives, sweeteners, colorants that do not do any good.

In order to prepare yourself kvass, you need to take rye bread (700 g), cut into small slices, then slightly dry in the oven. After that, the pieces are poured into 5 liters of boiling water, covered and allowed to stand for 3 hours. Then it is filtered, add a shake (15 g), sugar (100 g), cover with a loose cloth and leave to ferment for 12 hours. After the foam is formed from above, the kvass is filtered again and poured into containers that are tightly screwed with a lid and placed in a refrigerator. Finally, the drink will be ready only after 3 days.
