What did you drink when you were pregnant? Gatorade was my beverage of choice, as I'd always enjoyed it during my (brief!) athletic experience and when I was sick. But the aftertaste? Not ideal for a morning sick mama-to-be. And the sodium--wasn't I puffy enough already? Unfortunately, Gatorade was my only option, as flavored water drinks made me gag and I wasn't about to subject the baby to my caffeinated favorites of Coke and iced tea. But Gatorade isn't made for moms.
Glow Mama is! Flavored lightly with kiwi, it contains a bunch of mom-to-be essentials you won't find in other drinks: fiber, vitamin B6, and folate, to name a few. It's also perfect for nursing moms.
I can't say for sure because I'm not pregnant at the moment, but I just bet Glow Mama would help counter morning sickness. When you were pregnant, did you ever feel as though anything you ate or drank could put you over the edge and make you vomit? I felt that way a lot. At times like those, I would have been relieved to have a light, refreshing drink like Glow Mama. Besides, one bottle has 25% of your daily vitamin B6, which is known to ease nausea. Because of my morning sickness I was also unable to take regular prenatal vitamins (have you tasted one of those things?!). How comforting to know you are getting a lot of what your baby needs just by enjoying a refreshing drink!
I know you are curious about the taste. It's hard to describe, but it's important to note that Glow Mama is water-based and flavored with fruit juice. It is not meant to be juice; even 100% pure apple juice with no added sweeteners contains several times more sugar than Glow Mama. It doesn't taste like a sugary soft drink, but if you look at the label and see what is in Glow Mama, you'll be wondering how they made it taste so good. It will also leave you feeling more refreshed than a glass of water will.
The one drawback? Most of us can't make a quick run to the store for a case of these. While I hope to one day see them next to the Gatorade in my local Bi-Lo, it is currently necessary to order them online because they are sold in California and that's about it. There are several options at different price points in Glow Mama's online store, or, if you prefer, you can order them on Amazon where they are eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping! Incidentally, Glow Mama has received impeccable ratings from Amazon customers.

OK....I am on there email list, I am blogging and linking back to you both and I already have you on my blogroll. :)
I am not pregnant, but I LOVE Gatorade and can't have it now because of the whole renal diet/sodium thing. This has 0 sodium!!!!!! WOOOOO_HOOOOO!
I am not awake yet....I met to say THEIR email list and my favorite mocktail would have to be the classic Strswberry Diaperi!
Wow--that Mom-ito looks rather good! I love mojitos, so i guess that would make a great substitute when pregnant, huh?
I've added you to my blogroll, have signed up for Glow Mama's mailing list, and plan to blog about this contest . . . as soon as Stephen goes down for a nap!
this sounds wonderful. just a few weeks along with my first and this would be amazing to take to work, and hopefully help my stomach. i signed up on the email list. on to do the others
This sounds great. I'm a nursing mama and am constantly thirsty. I'd love to give it a try.
By the way, the Pina Co-Labor would be my choice.
Now I've blogged about it.
and now i've added it to my blog list
as for the mocktail flavors, I'd probably like them all.
mocktail, I would definatly go for a pina-co-labor, since I have never drank any real coctails before, I know the taste of pina colada and I Love it!!!
What a great idea!!!
plus I signed up for emails... I am not too hip with the blog and website things yet, although I am young (22) I haven't dove into the web... It's a work in progress!!!
Although I am not pregnant, I am a mom and I would love to try Glow Mama! I have seen it featured on a few blogs and it definitely looks like a product that I would enjoy!
I love that it is "loaded with the essential vitamins, minerals and fiber!" All of the mocktails sound great but I would probably try the Strawberry Diaperi first!
Thank you for the giveaway and thank you for visiting my blog!
I think the Glow Mama-politan would be great. Thanks for such a great giveaway.

ooh, peachy gingertini sounds wonderful!
Ugh, sorry about that.
My favorite would be the Strawberry Diaperi!
I linked you up to my blog!
strawberry would be my pick ")
pina co-labor does sound yummy or the strawberry diaperie,
oh also a subscriber and I agree have you seen those horse size vitamins they give you...? Really they smell nasty and are huge!
Thanks for telling me about the giveaway. Their drinks all look delicious. I love cranberry juice, so I think I ought to try out the Cranberry Thanksgiving Punch.
i have been wanting to try this for so long!
i'd probably make the pina co-labor.
Never heard of it! Sounds cool. :-)
I think that the Cranberry thanksgiving Punch sounds really yummy! I like cranberry juice - mix it with the other ingredients and you have a great mock-tail!
I signed up for their newsletter! I still nurse my daughter (some)and this looks like a great way to get in those vitamins we both need!
Hi! Well, I guess the Thanksgiving Punch would be appropriate this week. Sounds delicious. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Ooooh, Glomama-politan sounds so good! I've got an amazon gift card and nothing to spend it on so I might just have to give Glow Mama a try!
the strawberry diaperi sounds great to me.

Yay! I won! Whoo-hoo!
I'm still breastfeeding my 13 month old pretty exclusively. That is, he can eat regular food, but 100% of his nutrition still comes from Mommy Milk. We nurse all. the. time! And that's the way we like it! :-) So, winning is totally awesome! This drink will help me get the vitamins I need to keep up my milk supply.
Thanks, Jenny! And thanks, Glow Mama!
