Pregnancy can be an exciting journey for everyone involved but it can come with some challenges. Growing a little human inside of you takes a lot of energy and may cause you to feel many emotions, accompanied by physical symptoms.
IV Therapy during pregnancy: is it safe?
How does it reduce morning sickness?
One of the challenges pregnant women face, especially during the first trimester, is morning sickness and nausea/vomiting. Morning sickness is inconvenient; sometimes, it can cause extreme dehydration and require hospitalization.
With IV therapy, we can keep you hydrated, especially when you are unable to take anything orally.
If I’m dehydrated, why wouldn’t I just go to the emergency room?
Unfortunately, most hospitals have the policy that if you are not 20 weeks plus, you must be seen in the emergency room.
Since COVID, emergency rooms have been overcrowded and short-staffed, causing crazy wait times. With IV therapy with The IV Nurses, we come to you, whether it’s in your home, office, or hotel. This makes it easier to get your IV fluids with less wait time.
Is IV Therapy safe while I am pregnant?
Yes! You can do IV therapy while pregnant. An IV therapy or infusion is a convenient way to get the minerals and vitamins your body needs during pregnancy. It helps reduce morning sickness, boost your energy, reduce swelling, and minimize nausea and constipation, among other benefits. IV therapy with the proper vitamin cocktail can even replace prenatal vitamins if you receive an IV regularly.
Most vitamins given during pregnancy are the same vitamins you would receive with a standard prenatal. The main difference between taking your prenatal vitamins via IV instead of orally is that the IV vitamins are absorbed 100% by your body instead of 40-50%.
So what does IV Therapy entail?
IV therapy is a simple treatment in which a registered nurse inserts a needle into a vein in your arm and connects it to an IV bag. Once connected and infused, your nurse will mix vitamins into the bag. The process can take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, during which you can relax by watching TV, reading a book or magazine, napping, or browsing on your phone.
Why do pregnant women opt for mobile IV hydration therapy during pregnancy?
A vitamin-enhanced IV drip can increase energy.
We all know that pregnancy can drain you and leave you feeling exhausted. IV Hydration, Vitamins and fluids can give you more energy and make you feel better to enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible.
IV Fluids help dehydration caused by morning sickness.
IV Therapy for pregnancy provides valuable hydration when you can’t keep fluids down due to severe nausea from morning sickness. Dehydration causes adverse symptoms such as feeling fatigued or having headaches. -increase nutrients for the baby
A vitamin-enhanced IV drip can help some moms-to-be that can’t keep vitamins and pills because of morning sickness and nausea.
You’ve been sick most of your first trimester and don’t like taking pills or swallowing because of nausea. You might not be getting the hydration and the vitamins that you and your baby need.
IV fluids enhanced for pregnancy relieve nausea and vomiting.
Not feeling well is hard for moms-to-be to navigate if they already feel tired from the rigors of pregnancy. Dehydration isn’t beneficial for your baby either because it can decrease amniotic fluid levels and, eventually, breast milk production.

Some days, getting out of bed can be tough. As a mobile service, we can come to you – whether it’s your home, office, hotel, and yes, even right to your bedside!
Which IV Therapy Injections Are Safe During Pregnancy?
IV Fluids help with dehydration from morning sickness and will replenish your body. B12 injections and IV Nutritional Therapy are beneficial to both mom and baby.
Research shows that B12 improves the development of the baby’s spine and brain. It can also help the mother avoid anemia, absorb vitamins, and digest food. It can also help with fatigue, weakness, and mood swings.

- B complex
- Dexpanthenol (B5)
