Can i drik areated drink in pregnancy?

Question

I sometimes crave aerated drinks, but I'm pregnant now. Is it okay to drink aerated drinks during pregnancy, or should I completely avoid them?

Amoolya Sarkar · Answer

I craved Sprite so much during my first trimester, but I kept it to a bare minimum. Having a few sips occasionally is totally fine, just don't make it a habit.

Ambili Majumdar · Answer

I have read that the high sugar and caffeine in aerated drinks are not very good, so maybe try to avoid them as much as possible.

Komal Shenoy · Answer

I felt so bloated and uncomfortable after drinking soda once that I completely avoided it afterwards. Fresh juices are a much safer bet.

Kiran Rathore · Answer

A sip or two to beat the nausea is fine, just don't drink the whole 2-liter bottle, haha! Stick to water and fresh juices mostly.

My mother always made fresh coconut water or sweet lassi for me instead of cold drinks. It is much healthier for you and the baby.

Avoid buying aerated drinks regularly to keep your health on track and prevent complications like gestational diabetes, which can lead to expensive medical tests.

Lakshmi Sehgal · Answer

Haan na, too much soda can cause gas and bloating, which is already a problem in pregnancy. Try fresh lime water instead.

Hey, don't stress too much about it! An occasional glass of aerated drink won't harm the baby, but try to limit it due to the high sugar content.
