Should pregnant women be more cautious about filtering water?

Healthy Water for Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, you should be concerned with the quality of water you drink as well as the quantity. Researchers have linked chlorine disinfection by-products (DBPs) with miscarriages and birth defects. Although the studies aren't completely conclusive at this point, it makes sense for pregnant women to take the precaution of filtering drinking water to remove chlorine. A good house water filter that uses activated carbon can effectively reduce your risk of DBP exposure.
