The Science Behind Prenatal & Postnatal IV Therapy
At IV Elements, prenatal IV therapy is designed to gently restore hydration and deliver essential nutrients like folic acid, iron, B-complex vitamins, and magnesium, which are all selected to support you and your baby.
Whether you’re navigating morning sickness, low energy, or simply feeling rundown, IV hydration therapy can help ease nausea, promote fetal brain development, strengthen your immune system, and make each day a little more manageable.
Morning sickness affects an estimated three out of four pregnant women. It can lead to a lack of proper nutrients in the body, putting both you and your baby at risk.
Hyperemesis gravudarum (HG) is extreme morning sickness that can cause women to lose more than 5% of their pre-pregnancy weight throughout the first trimester.
While diet, exercise and prenatal vitamins are essential to a healthy pregnancy, they may not be enough for some women. IV Elements aims to help you supplement your nutrients with a liquid IV therapy called Hydroboost, which delivers necessary vitamins straight to your bloodstream. With IV treatment, you can feel the effects of treatment faster and get more nutrients to your baby, aiding in healthy development.
A Boost of Anti-Nausea
You might also consider adding an Anti-Nausea Vitamin Booster Shot to your drip. Our anti-nausea booster is Zofran, which has shown to be of little risk to a pregnancy. In fact, it’s a commonly prescribed medication for morning sickness. If you’re ready to rid yourself of nausea, talk with our nurses about whether a boost of Zofran could fit your treatment plan.
Pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
The majority of pregnant women experience some type of morning sickness (roughly 70-80%) and recent studies show that at least 60,000 cases are of those with extreme morning sickness called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). Severe nausea is believed to be caused by a rise in hormone levels. The symptoms of HG usually appear between 4-6 weeks of pregnancy and may peak between 9-13 weeks.
Symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum:
- Severe nausea and vomiting
- Food aversions
- Weight loss of 5% or more of pre-pregnancy weight
- Decrease in urination
- Dehydration
- Headaches
- Jaundice
- Extreme fatigue / fainting
- Low blood pressure
- Rapid heart rate
- Anxiety and depression
Other Vitamin Boosters
Many of our other booster shots include some of the most vital nutrients for prenatal health. You might consider adding any of these boosters to your next drip:
Folic Acid
Folic acid helps develop the fetus's neural tube. A poorly-developed neural tube can lead to complications like spina bifida.

$75
Calcium Gluconate
Calcium can strengthen bones and prevent hypertensive disorders near labor, like pre-eclampsia.
Location
$35
Vitamin D
Like calcium, vitamin D helps with bone growth. It also helps develop a fetus's teeth, kidneys and nervous system.
Location
$35
Zinc
Zinc assists in natural fetal development, playing a particularly significant role in growing cells, DNA and tissue.

The best treatment option for Hyperemesis Gravidarum is IV Vitamin Therapy. It allows the pregnant woman to replenish the fluids and nutrients lost due to vomiting to ensure the baby gets all the necessary nutrition. Many parents even chose IV Vitamin Therapy leading up to the pregnancy because it gives their baby the best chance at a healthy development.
Getting IV Therapy During Pregnancy
When you’re getting pregnancy hydration therapy, we want you to be as comfortable as possible. For some people, that means coming into one of our secure drip bars and receiving treatment in a professional facility. Other people may want to get treatment from the comfort of their own homes.
Whichever option you prefer, we can accommodate. While our drip location options are available to everyone, we’re happy to come to you for treatment if you live in New Jersey, New York City or Philadelphia.
A Note About Pregnancy Hydration Therapy
IV hydration therapy has proven to be of minimal risk to pregnant women, fetuses and almost anyone interested in its benefits. However, you should consult with your doctor and OB/GYN before moving forward with any medical intervention during pregnancy, including liquid IV. We want to help you have the healthiest baby possible, and your doctors can monitor you to ensure you make the right choice for your pregnancy.
