babyboy, drinking "tons" of OJ isn't good either. It's jam packed with sugar unless you're drinking fresh squeezed - and even then, eating the orange is much better. Drink water, eat whole fruit. ;D
And yes, drinking 2 diet sodas a day will harm you. It might not make noticeable difference in your pregnancy and your baby, but over time it does damage to your body although you may not be fully aware of it.
There are certainly studies out there that show that drinking diet drinks actually causes women to gain weight, for example. It does something to your metabolic rate and "tricks" your body into not being able to judge when you're full.
No one here is saying it's arsenic, but there is a growing body of research that clearly points to the dangers of artificial sweeteners.
&& just to ease your mind about the diet sodas, my bestfriend drinks nothing but diet soda and she has had 2 perfectly healthy babies, so you'll be fine I'm sure! :)
Also, just try not to stress and worry about everything! Women were having babies long before there was internet and all that stuff :)
They ate whatever, drank whatever and slept however and they birthed healthy, wonderful babies so just go with the flow and enjoyyyyy being pregnant! :D
I didn't mean dieting, diet pop, not dieting :) sorry for the confusion!
its alot to take in...i do not drink 4 diet coke a day but i do drink 1 or 2...its not that im dieiting at al trust me iv gained a **** load of weight its just habit...i drink tons of oj and sleep on my left side...so i think im doing a okay job hehe i hope...lol
No. It won't kill your baby, but aspartame is bad for you to consume period, whether you're pregnant or not. Just google some of the side effects
