Sodas??

Is it true that soda is bad for you? Can it harm the baby? Because I crave soda all the time. I'm not sure what it is but I always want a soda.

Well soda is bad for you even if you aren't pregnant. But you can have a soda a day the baby will be fine.

250 mg of caffeine a day is fine if you have a healthy pregnancy, just watch the sugar in the sodas. It's better to drink I regular soda while pregnant then a diet one bc of chemicals found in the sugar substitute.

It just depends on your body and how you and your doctor feel about it. I went my 1st and 2nd trimester drinking only water and tea. But now I have a soda a day because other wise I'll be sleeping all day

I drink one soda a day also, I don't think its bad unless you over do it. If you crave sodas maybe drinking sprite or 7up might be better for you then dark sodas because they don't have any caffeine in them.

That only bad thing about soda an being pregnant is the caffeine. As long as you drink it in moderation an drink plenty of water there's nothing wrong with drinking it! I have one soda a day

I crave soda too...coke to be exact..I hated coke before I was pregnant and now its something that I have to drink with lunch or I can't get my food down. I was told to just not over do it. Drinking it in moderation is fine.
