Suddenly craving a cold coke in this heat, like really badly. But i know its full of sugar and caffeine na so feeling guilty even thinking about it. Is one glass okay sometimes?
Oh, I craved chilled coke so much during my twin pregnancy, especially with the burning acidity! But the gas can actually make bloat worse, so I had to control myself. Just take a tiny sip from your partner's glass to satisfy your soul!
Beta, cold drinks are not good for the baby's health because they are very cold and full of sugar. Better to drink fresh coconut water or homemade lassi if you feel hot. Take care of your health, cold drinks can give you a sore throat too.
I am trying to cut down on aerated drinks now because we are planning to conceive. I read that high caffeine is not very good for fertility or pregnancy. Replacing it with fresh fruit juices seems like a gentler option.
I know how flat sodas feel like they might help with severe nausea, but coke has too much caffeine. Try drinking fresh lime juice or club soda with ginger instead, it settled my stomach much better during my morning sickness.
I would highly recommend avoiding carbonated drinks like coke during pregnancy. I had high blood pressure issues and my doctor strictly banned all sugary sodas. Please ask your gynac before having any such drinks.
