Efficient, quick hydration
Helps to combat nausea and replenish energy levels
Vitamin C is vital for both mama and bub during pregnancy and for postpartum recovery, we chose to use a fruit-based ascorbic acid which is very quick absorbing.
Vitamin B6 is often prescribed for treating nausea and vomiting (those head in the bowl moments) and is a key ingredient in our formulation. We use a water soluble form of vitamin B6 called Pryidoxine Hydrochoride.
Methyl Folate Calcium (Methylated Folate) a form of folate which can be absorbed by everyone. This one is great for bub, their brain and spine whilst growing in your belly.
* Please note Hydramama is not designed to replace your prenatal vitamin

HG is more than just morning sickness, and can be very serious if left untreated.Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium are essential for proper bodily function, including nerve and muscle function, maintaining fluid balance, regulating blood pressure and so much more. When a person with HG experiences frequent vomiting they can quickly become dehydrated and lose important electrolytes. We have also included Methyl-Folate, Vitamin B6 and vitamin C in our formulation for a number of reasons.
Firstly, we must stress that Hydramama is not designed to replace your prenatal vitamin/folic acid. We have included these vitamins to support your vitamin intake, in particular if you are experiencing extreme vomiting. Vitamin B6 has been shown to potentially help to alleviate symptoms of vomiting.
It is important to note that the effectiveness of these drinks will vary from person to person, and to always consult your health care team. Hydramama was created by our founder Keira who has experienced two HG pregnancies. The aim was for her to create something that was tasty, that was well and truly puke tested. Hydramama was used for her treatment plan, amongst medication and regular IV fluids for her second pregnancy.
If you are suffering from HG, please reach out to Hyperemesis Australia for support and ensure you are being supported by your medical team and getting the right level of care you require.
Our Hydramama contains an advanced formulation of electrolyte blend which contains essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride which studies have shown can help regulate fluid balance, nerve and muscle function and blood pressure. These electrolytes are especially important during pregnancy when the body’s demand for them is increased.
Adequate hydration is essential during pregnancy to help with the development of the bub. Water is essential for transporting nutrients to bub and helping maintain amniotic fluid levels. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should be encouraged to increase their intake of water and other fluids to meet their bodies' needs. It is recommended that if you’re pregnant you consume roughly 3L of water per day. As a pregnant womans heart and metabolism goes up by roughly 50%, making the recommended daily fluid intake to be increased by an extra litre of water a day.
Other benefits of hydration while pregnant may be:
- May help to alleviate constipation. Pregnant women are prone to constipation due to hormonal changes and added pressure on their digestive system from their growing uterus. Drinking enough water may help to soften stools and may help to prevent constipation.
- May reduce UTI’s. Pregnant women may be at a higher risk of UTI’s. Drinking enough fluid may help to flush out any bacteria and keep the urinary tract healthy.
- May help to regulate body temperature. Pregnant women are more susceptible to overheating, especially during hot weather or physical activity.
- May assist with reduction/prevention of headaches. Headaches are a common sign of dehydration.
Please note: it is important to consult with your health care provider for individualised recommendations when it comes to your specific concerns and needs during pregnancy.
Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium are essential for proper bodily function, including nerve and muscle function, maintaining fluid balance, regulating blood pressure and so much more. Which may be diminished if you are vomiting frequently, and you may become quickly dehydrated.
Our Apple Ginger flavour has included ginger as studies have shown that ginger can be an effective natural remedy for morning sickness.
If you are experiencing extreme vomiting / HG please consult your doctor to ensure you are adequately hydrated, in many extreme cases, IV fluids are essential and vital to help support mum and bub.
Hydration and electrolyte drinks are important when breastfeeding because they can help to ensure that your body has the necessary fluids and minerals to help produce that milky goodness.
Breastfeeding can be an exhausting and demanding process so your body requires more fluid to help keep up with the demands of milk production. So in your postpartum period, more than ever, it is important to nourish mama and bub!
Breastfeeding women have an additional water loss of roughly 700ml/day at 8 weeks postpartum
