Craving coke!!

[Shisha86]

Hi ladies..
I am 34 weeks 5 days today.
I have been off caffeine ever since I found out I was pregnant, even though I was big on coffee.
I would sip on some chai tea once in while.
But today suddenly I had this craving out of nowhere for coke! Next thing I know I am down half a can!!!
Is it safe? I know I am allowed around 200mg caffeine a day but I just wanna know if I can do this sometimes? Maybe I'm feeling guilty and it almost feels like I am cheating lol
What are your thoughts over this? Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm a my dew addict myself and it has never effected baby for me so you're prolly fine lol

I NEVER drink coke, but that was the first craving I had with this pregnancy!! I was told to lower my caffeine though so I substitute root beer or grape soda. Its not the same though!  Keeping it under a can a day is also a challenge for me as I was overweight at the start of this pregnancy, I can't go too crazy on the weight gain.

But you should slow down On that not good for you or Baby

@treksy: girl ur funny, u bought me on vanilla coke, gotta get one of those next time!!

Thanks for ladies.. I guess I had one of those moments today "I want it n I want it now!"
But as u all said I will try n stick to non caffeine beverages and once a while I may cheat as m not on any high risks n have been very healthy all through my pregnancy.
Honestly I felt like I was on some sort of drugs with just 1-4 sips! Man being off caffeine has made me soo sensitive to it!

Thanks so much girls!

I'm on Numbr 5 and I drank soda (I'm a Pepsi girl tho) all through every one of my pregnancies and other than the fact that's boys r wild which is just the age  they were all 100% healthy and so is this lil lady and I can't go without my caffeine or my soda cuz is probably snap lol don't worry it'll b perfectly fine just don't go drinking only soda or something moderation everything in moderation that goes for whether ur prego or not it's not going to hurt the little one

I've been off caffeine since I found out I was pregnant too. I know it doesn't taste the same but you could try the caffeine free kind of coke.it's been hard for me to go off caffeine entirely as well. I do t think a can of coke every once in a while will hurt, as long as you're not high risk. As long as you aren't chugging a 2 liter every day you should be ok.

I am a "coke addict" I collect the points and the glasses.... coca cola collected my teeth though. Lol
Now that they are almost all fake its not a huge concern any more but! I would limit the coke to like maybe a can here and there. I love coke. Especially vanilla coke! But it gives me god awful heart burn! So that has definitley kept me away lol
Just remember there is absolutley No nutritional value whatsoever to coke. Its like bathing your teeth in sugar. Its fine as a sometimes thing though!
