W is for Water. Pregnant women should drink water because it keeps things flowing--in other words, helps prevent constipation. People should drink water in general, everyone knows that, but pregnant women should be sure to get extra. It also helps increase the amount of amniotic fluid that the baby is floating around in.
Then, once you have a baby, there is more water. If you had an IV, the fluids have to leave your system somehow. Nurses at the hospital will bring you a small pitcher of water (maybe wrapped in a diaper) and you are to drink all of it within three hours.
Breastfeeding is the same way: drink water.
Bottom line: drink lots of water.
