Aquamamma

Once upon a time (OK, it was 2015) a leading Australian obstetrician noticed that many of his pregnant patients were chronically dehydrated without realising it. He would tell them to drink more water and would hear the same thing in response: I CAN’T! PLEASE NO! DON’T MAKE MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Some had nausea and morning sickness and couldn’t stomach more liquid. Some were drinking rehydration solutions or sports drinks to feel better. But those are full of sugar and sodium and ultimately left them feeling worse. Motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint after all. Sports drinks just don’t cut it.

He realised there was a real need for a hydration solution specifically for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Something both healthy and hydrating. Filled with electrolytes, but also the other stuff your body needs when you’re growing / pushing / feeding a tiny human – like folic acid, magnesium and vitamin c. Something not full of nasties and artificial stuff. So he delivered (see what we did there?) Aquamamma to the world. And the rest as they say is herstory…
