I barely ever drink coke/pepsi, but My oh My!! ever since i got pregnant i've had many a cravings for the sugar filled liquid.

And weirdly i find that i could take this fluid without feeling sick, which is nice seeing as i feel crap with drinking normal water/milk

That makes sense. They say if you have a stomach ache, to drink a little bit of soda. The carbonation is supposed to settle your stomach.

Diet soda is disgusting

.

My doctor said 3 cans of soda a day. I usually have one coke a month, I switched to caffeine free pepsi and it tastes the exact same as pepsi, I love that the States stock crazy arse soda

EDIT: When I do have a soda it usually causes bubs to keep me up all night also regardless of the position I lay in!.

I drink lots i must admit, i have always drank a lot of fizzy pop and cola is my fave but it has to be the "proper" one, i crave the feeling of fizz in my mouth, i was worried i might make my baby smaller but he is measuring 2 weeks ahead lol so im sure im not harming him.

I have stopped smoking so i think i have stopped a worse thing than some fizzy pop

the nice weather doesn't help !!! all I want to do is sit in the pub garden with a nice coke and lemon yum !!! I normally have one then swap to orange juice or lemonade

I used to drink a LOT of Diet Coke before i got pregnant, but since being pregnant i have gone right off it. It's only this week that i've craved fizzy again, and have started drinking Dr Pepper. Only like 2 glasses a day, which i've been told is fine. I heard somewhere that the "limit" is 5 cans of soda per day, so go on and treat yourself to that Coke with lemon

I am still drinking coke, you are allowed upto 8 cans a day, that is what the notes in my green folder say or go and buy decaffinated.

I have just taken this off the nhs website, will post the link in a mo:-
Limit the amount of caffeine you drink every day, but you don't need to stop it completely. If you have more than 300 mg a day, then you raise your chances of having a low birth weight baby or even miscarriage of your pregnancy.

300mg of caffeine is roughly the same as:

three mugs of instant coffee
four cups of instant coffee
three cups of brewed coffee
six cups of tea
eight cans of cola
four cans of energy drinks

eight (50g) bars of plain chocolate or 16 similar sized milk chocolate bars

My gosh 8 cans of Cola, my cheeky doctor is cheating me!.

I always say with everything they are called guidelines for a reason, you use your brain and common sense with food/drink during pregnancy and you will be fine.
