Yes, you can drink Gatorade during pregnancy.
The main ingredients in Gatorade are water, sugar, and electrolytes, which make it an easy way to maintain proper hydration while keeping active during the summer months, especially if you live in a warmer climate. For pregnant people that fall victim to morning sickness, sports drinks like Gatorade can also ensure that you stay hydrated while you’re having difficulty keeping food down.
With any drink other than water, however, it can be valuable to make sure that Gatorade isn’t the only thing you’re drinking throughout the day, as the sugar in it can certainly add up1 . Be wary of sugar-free Gatorade as well, as regular consumption of the sweeteners in this beverage hasn’t been thoroughly studied during pregnancy.
