So, since I got my BFP a few weeks ago, I've really been on a Perrier kick.

DH has been very cute since the BFP, making sure I'm taking the best care of myself that I can. Sending me links for Vegan/Vegetarian Pregnancy books, Pre-natal Yoga, and lists of what I should and should not be eating. I love him for this. Both of us are very scared of another MC.

So while I was glugging away on yet another liter of Perrier last night, DH asked me 2 questions that I don't know the answers to. I've tried good ol' Dr. Google, but the results are somewhat inconclusive. So if anyone can help me:

1. Is it ok if the only water I'm drinking is sparkling water? Do I need to drink regular water too?

2. Is Perrier safe to drink while pregnant?
It didn't even occur to me that it wouldn't be safe, but when I googled it, I came across one thing where someone said it had too much (many?) nitrates in it, and that can cause birth defects!

My first doctor's appointment isn't until April 23, which is a lifetime away!! So if you have any insight, please share!
