Chlorine taste in water and pregnancy

[sapo2000]

Hello everyone. I am 25 weeks pregnant and I usually drink tap water but only after it is filtrated through a jar. I did it today. However, the water tasted like chlorine. I drank a little bit and threw away the rest. Can this harm the baby?

No

I found the taste of tap water very chemical-ly when I was pregnant and mostly made sure I had plenty of bottles in the fridge or freezer - ice cold took the taste away. Would that help?

Ice and tap water is great

You’ll both be absolutely fine. If you pour some water into a jug and leave it for a few hours the chlorine taste will go.
