WaterBaby very kindly sent me out three of their flavours to try out for myself.
The bottles came beautifully packaged in a white box with a magnetic fastener - very fancy for bottles of water. They were wrapped in tissue paper and also came with an information leaflet.
The flavours that I received were Care (citrus), Calm (ginger) and Bloom (cranberry).
Now, I don't drink enough water as it is. I constantly get headaches and Chris tells me that dehydration is the reason. For some reason, I just don't feel that thirst so I would never go out of my way to pour myself a glass of water and to be honest, I think plain water is too boring to drink anyway!
These bottles seemed perfect for me as they had a little hint of flavour so it did just feel like I was drinking juice. Another reason that I like them so much is that I did have a couple of days where I forgot to take my folic acid tablet and/or swallowing it would make me heave (don't you just love morning sickness?) This way, I could just keep a bottle beside me and sip away at it and I knew that the baby was getting enough.
I have to be honest and say that although I really enjoyed the citrus and cranberry flavours, ginger was not a friend of mine. When I was pregnant with C, people told me that ginger biscuits would help with morning sickness but they just made me feel more ill! I expected the same with this pregnancy and I was right. Unfortunately, I just couldn't stomach the ginger but others may have a difference of opinion.
All in all, I would definitely recommend these to any expectant mother as I did genuinely feel hydrated.
On their website, only the Care (citrus) is available to buy in a bundle of either 12 (£18.49) or 28 (£32.49) although the option to buy Bloom (cranberry) or a mixed bundle are coming soon.
