I do . All the time.  But only sprite / 7up/ mist just because the no _ low caffeine.  I don't drink dark pop at all.  Every now an then I'll slip in a mtd just cause it taste good and it's not super harmful to have a lil caffeine here and there. But of I drink a lot I get headache and it upsets my baby//stomach.

The limit is 200ml of caffeine. Honestly, here and there I drink about 2 cans every other day lol. But me and my baby are perfectly fine at 39wks.

I've hardly drank soda my whole pregnancy except not I've been drinking ginger ale a lot cuz I have been sick to my stomach - I'm 37 weeks.
But it is fine to have 2 cups a day but I wouldn't drink more than tht it's not recommended to drink more than tht. :)

I drink a cup of coffee every day and had a craving for pepsi and went thru a 2 liter in a day!! They usually say 2-3 cups of caffeine is ok. Im 31 wks: 3rd baby. No issues

This pregnancy I haven't been drinking much but my last pregnancy I drank it all the time, I was sick every day and coke was one of the only things that made me feel better. My doctor gave me the Ok. It's empty calories and they don't want you tofill up on nothing, you should take in all the good. Plus sugar is fattening and don't gain the weight they tell you to, it's so hard to lose. Bit if your crabbing it, give in, pregnancy is hard enough without it :)

I drink a sprite about every other day. It's caffeine free but still not the best choice.

Sugar and fat and caffeine are all bad for you. Even the sodium levels are high on sodas.

I still drink them though, but just like once a week or every other week. Sometimes I just want carbonation lol

But that's another thing if you suffer from acid reflux, soda can make it worse by keeping your stomach open and letting out acids.
