Its peak summer here and i SO badly want a chilled cold drink. But everyone at home is stopping me saying its not good for the baby. Is it really harmful or just a myth? craving it so much honestly.
I'd be careful with cold drinks mainly because of the sugar load. I had sugar issues in pregnancy so I cut sodas out completely. If you must, keep it rare and small, and watch your overall sugar.
Yaar once in a while is okay, dont stress. Actually it's the sugar and the gas that's the problem, not that it's cold. I used to crave it but switched to mostly coconut water, felt better honestly.
An occasional cold drink wont harm the baby, the temperature isn't the issue. The thing to watch is the sugar and caffeine in colas, so dont make it a daily habit. Fresh juice, nimbu paani or coconut water are better picks.
