Nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

During pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume increases by about 40–50%. Adequate fluids help maintain this expanded volume and ensure proper circulation to the placenta and fetus.

During lactation, water intake directly affects milk volume. Breast milk is about 87% water, so hydration is essential to maintain supply.
