Drinking softdrink.

Ive never been a huge water drinker. Im trying my best but there is still the odd day where I will drink a few glasses of coke. How bad is this? Or how does softdrink affect bub? Im 28 Weeks.

Just so u ladies know about those mio n Crystal light flavorings. They have asperteme n artificial flavors which is not good for the baby. My doc told me to b careful even drinking to much gatorate or poweraide. Just water w fresh lemon

I worked out that you could drink 2 litres of coke a day and that would be within the caffeine guidelines of 200 mg a day so having one glass a day is only like having a few cups of coffee a day so try not to stress. Lots of caffeine isn't good for the baby but a glass here and there would be fine! Caffeine free diet coke was a godsend to me cos all i craved was diet coke! I couldn't taste the difference at all so you could try that. Sprite and orange soda drinks dont have caffeine either so they would be fine to drink too.

ive had the same problem because i love the fizziness. ive found that walmart has GREAT flavored sparkling water. they have all the flavors that our local grocery store doesnt.

just get caffine free coke, you wont even taste the difference!

Cool thanks. Yeah I always crave ice cold coke. Lol. I try to only drink it on the weekend and stuff. Adding stuff to water sounds like a plan :)

I try to drink as much water during the week as I can. ( not a big water drinker ) I drink about five bottles. But on Friday nights I go out and drink a coke or two & Saturday I usually have one or two Cokes.

You just want to minimize your caffeine intact you are allowed to have some during the day. YOu just don't want to get jittery because baby will get the same effects. Just keep on trying with the water and add some flavor to make it more interesting, I will add crystal light in mine. you can also try fizzy water, they have some good flavored ones, the bubbles make you feel like you are drinking soda.

Prepregnancy I hardly craved soda. Now that im pregnant thats all I want. I give in to my craving here and there, once in awhile doesn't hurt. I started using Mio. Its a zero cal, no sugar water enhancer. It just adds flavor to your water. I like it and find myself drinking more water with it.

I dont like water too much either so to substitute the soda i started drnking gatorade or powerade...you can always drink sprite since its caffiene free but again in moderation.

A few glasses of coke here and there is ok, hun..if it was all you drank day after day it would be an issue. But your trying to drink more water and that's good! ;-)
