I really do not want to scare you, but I found a site about nitrates and it states:
Some scientific studies have found evidence suggesting that women who drink nitrate-contaminated water during pregnancy are more likely to have babies with birth defects!. Nitrate ingested by the mother may also lower the amount of oxygen available to the fetus!.
It has a lot of other information as well, such as nitrates are naturally in water, it is just when they get to a high level that the water has been contaminated!.
Try not to worry as they might not have gotten to you late, as the nitrates might not have been in the water until just recently, and that is why they sent out the letters!.
I am sure everything is fine, just buy your water and talk to doc in the meantime!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'm sure there is a chance that it can affect your child, but they probably put that warning label on there for legal reasons!. i would definitely go see your doctor about it, but i would not be too concerned!. also, i'm sure you have kind of figured this, but don't drink any more of water and go by bottle water!. best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
I would suggest writing nasty letters to governors, senators, politicians, environmental groups and such about the scare this has caused you!. You could even write one e-mail and send it to the different people!. Something must be done to protect our future and environment!.
Stock up on gallon jugs of water, just remember to recycle them!.
I hope everything turns out alright for you and your baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
