The Dangers of Plastic Water Bottles During Pregnancy

by Million Marker

Sustainable Choices Are Healthier Choices

We know that using plastic water bottles may seem convenient, but their negative effects on the environment and your health are not worth their limited benefits [2]. 
Take every precaution you can to have a safe pregnancy. Eliminating plastic water bottles is one of the easiest ways to safeguard your pregnancy from toxic chemicals!

Plastic Water Bottles: What You Need to Know

Water is essential for life. Not only is it refreshing on a hot summer day, but water also propels every cell in our bodies. That includes the cells responsible for creating life.

Water can be a host or potentially harmful molds, bacteria, or toxic chemicals to grow, too. Hey, nothing is more refreshing than dipping into a pool. Just ask BPA!

BPA in Plastic Water Bottle Warnings

BPA is a compound used to make plastic manufactured for water bottles. Research shows that these chemicals can also blend into the water we consume [3]. 

Protect your future generations from plastic chemicals. BPA has been linked to low birth weight and childhood asthma [4,5].

Better the World, Better Your Health

Drink up to a more sustainable future. Propel yourself through the day using reusable BPA-free, pregnancy safe water bottles.

Instead, use bottles made of stainless steel, glass, aluminum, and tritan copolyester bottles.
