I love diet coke.. im 38 weeks tomorow and today babys heartbeat was getting checked it was ovwr 200bpm!!!!! How could I do this to my baby? Turns out its the baby having withdrawals from the lack of diet coke because I had been drinking loads throughout! Will baby be ok when it comes? I feel so guilty :( x

But i was also told from my ob that diet soda when pregnant was a biiig no no.

[sammiejo13643]

It may be the artificial sweeteners that are in the diet soda that your baby may be reacting to. I have some soda (even caffeinated) a little every day and my sons heart rate hasnt ever gone over one sixty. But then again studies are showing how diet sodas are worse for you than regular ones.

Ive never heard of that before. I also drink a bunch if diet sodas! This is my fourth pregnancy and I haven't had any issues with it. I recommend you get a caffeine free diet drink

My doc new from the start that I had 1 or 2 cans a day and now there saying I shouldn't have any as it was making babys heart race! Im hoping its nothing more serious with baby as its heartbeat has been fine untill now! My midwives and doctors just told me its the coke x

I've never heard of that either.  I too like Diet Coke, but I never had more than one or two a day and my doctor told me that was fine.  I even sometimes had a cup of coffee in the mornings but I never had any issues w/ the heartbeat.
