Coconut water

Hi, I am currently week 37. I heard that 3rd trimester needs to drink coconut water . Not sure what’s the reason to drink them. May I know what coconut water to drink? I have gestational diabetes for this pregnancy and my first pregnancy I did not drink any.

Coconut water is claimed to cleanse the amniotic fluid so that baby will come out “cleaner” and less bloody. Any natural/fresh (w/o added sugar or any other content) coconut water will do. Best to check with ur gynae if your GD condition allows

my mom bought the real coconut for me & opened it up... not sure about GD tho

if you have GD best is to avoid coconut water as the sugar content is high
