Pregnancy

Currently 37 weeks, being craving for cold soft drink during midnight, isit better if I drink Coke Zero since there no sugar and zero calories. What do ur think abt it? Any of ur have the same craving as me during ur pregnancy, can share it with me?

Yes had major craving for cold drinks but I substituted with ice cold coconut water. If want gassy, maybe go for soda water? The craving was harder during confinement as I really abstain from any cold drinks/food and even plain water. Only RDT everyday. After confinement, suddenly had craving for bubbletea n I drank at least 5 cups per week for months. Funny thing is I was NEVER a bbt gal before pregnancy.

I tried to control my craving for any kind of Coke as it is not good for the baby, even till now I'm breastfeeding. Maybe go for others beverages and have small amount to ease the craving. 😊

Me! Im currently 37 weeks too. The cold soft drinks craving is there everyday!! 😂😂 and is so hard to control.. hahah, occasionally i will still drink but not alot. Or probably like 1 week 1-2 only.

Same as me. I love drinking cold soft drink. But I buy mug which stated no caffeine. I can't take caffeine and worry will create more acid. As I have bad acid reflux n bloated stomach already.

in my 37 weeks now. didnt stop drinking soft drinks ever since i pregnant. number 1, the weather is so hot, number 2... it quench my thirst.😅 but i can suggest drink moderately?

Do you have diabetes? If no, I would go for normal coke with sugar, because I’m more uncertain about artificial sweeteners and their effects on baby 😅

Try to avoid if possible . After into my third trimester, I actually stopped drinking cola although am craving for it :(

Nice. Cold beverages are my great companion during both pregnancies. They give me power

Maybe not everyday ? Try not to drink the whole can ? In moderation
