Anyone drink fizzy drinks everyday?

[Enasy]

I drink water through out the day but if i'm feeling up to it have really been enjoying a cold glass of lilt

I had sprite quite a bit in first trimester. I have HG and the fizzy I could keep down more than water. I do have fizzy now and then but try to have water. I did same with dd as had HG then as well and helped settled stomach and kept me hydrated and she was fine (I am talking a glass a day at most)

I fancied sprite in first trimester too!

A bit of soda each day won't hurt you just keep in mind it's a) empty calories and b) it's not as hydrating. So I'd only worry about it if you're a) gaining weight too fast / already pretty overweight before pregnancy and so needing to watch calories and/or b) are drinking it instead of water. Otherwise no biggie.

And not reccomended to have an excess of 200mg of caffiene per day, depending on your soda choice.

Oh I missed reading this, I love lilt, can't get it here, I would love a glass of lilt

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one with HG that finds fizzy drinks easiest to keep down. For about 15 weeks if I tried to drink anything else I would throw it up. I do feel bad about drinking so much of it, but I figure fizzy juice is better than being dehydrated and being admitted to hospital for another drip.

Me!

I drink coke zero every day. I've given up everything else bad for me and keep an eye on caffeine intake from it. I follow all the food rules. Won't touch alcohol. Look after myself but it's the one thing I can't give up lol.

I drank it with my son and he was perfect!

Ummm... I am ashamed to say how much I drink of it!! Maybe 3/4 cans a day? But, I don't drink tea or coffee (hate them both) so I don't ever go over the daily caffeine limit. I was exactly the same with my 2 girls, and they were just fine. The sugar intake didn't affect their size at all (dd1 was 8lb 14oz and dd2 8lb 1oz, both were 12 days overdue) so I guess I don't really worry.

Thankx ladies I don't feel so bad now

 

[ljo1984]

Yeh I generally have a can a day. But drink a lot of juice/water too.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Way too much coke!
It's the only thing that settles my tummy

 

[kimmy04]

I only allow myself 1-2 cans a week and it's usually Pepsi or Dr pepper! Those are my weaknesses haha.

I craaaave ice cold coke or Pepsi.. I also have had a thing for mug root beer for about a month.. It says no caffeine but prob has tons of sugar, so I try to drink only 1 a day .. But sometimes end up having 2-3.... Bad I know

Fizzy drinks are so much more appealing now that I'm pregnant! I never really used to drink the stuff but now I often find myself craving lemonade!
Some days I have none.. other days I'll have 3-4 glasses. I think if you were drinking 7+ glasses of fizz a day then it may get to a point where your blood sugar levels start having a detrimental effect, but I don't think you have anything to worry about otherwise!

*swigging my coke as I read the updates on this thread* My family think its hilarious, I never drank the stuff until pregnant

 

[Serenyx]

Sprite is caffeine free so I try to drink that where possible, but I do slip the odd Dr Pepper or Cherry Coke in now and again

I had to drink 400ml of Lucozade this morning for my GD test - bleurgh!

 

[odouglass]

I do! I just can't give it up, I usually have 1 coffee and a soda each day....

 

[molly27]

I was drinking flavoured milk aswell and midwife gave out to me saying that had loads of calories and sugar and that the baby wud b huge so now I'm drinking normal milk and water and one can club orange so hopefully not taking too much sugar in now.my little boy was 9lb 9 when he was born.it doesn't bother me if he's big as long as he healthy but midwife has me panicking over my sugar intake

 

[MamaLa]

I know the feeling. one week I had all I craved was an ice full cup and pepsi with a straw soo gooooood!! lol.. But I drink water all day at work, so I think its okay to indulge.
