How bad is it to drink soda? Do you ladies crave soda and how much can you drink before it affects the baby?

I hear the caffeine supposedly speed ur babies heart beat. So i really didnt touch it for that reason i drank soda but it was usually caffeine free.  An occasional caffeine soda shouldn't be bad . As long as ur drinking ur recommend amount of water a day i think u nd ur little one should be fine . :)

Everyone is talking about caffeine but a lot of soda doesn't have any caffeine that are just fine to drink as well like sprite, root beer, cream soda, dr pepper etc...I would just watch your sugar intake cause you don't want to gain a bunch of weight or end up getting gestational diabetes.

My Dr told me 2-3 12oz cans of pop a day is fine. I'm allergic to coffee so pop is the only thing I can drink when I need a caffeine boost.

Omg that's all I ever want is soda. Pretty much all I drank at the beginning of my pregnancy now I have kidney stones and I'm 32 weeks . It's ok to drink a soda a day but make sure you drink lots of water too. I wish I would of only drank water lol

You can have up to 200mg of caffeine a day. So a soda is done. I normally drink a coffee each day and occasionally a coffee and a Pepsi..  My baby is just fine.

I just met this lady and she said she had strong migranes and the only thing that cured ot was coca cola. She has a can a day and sometime pit some water in it. One can would hurt any.
