I get this strong craving for cold drink especially in this heat, used to have it almost daily before. Now im 4 months and feeling guilty every time i think of it. Is an occasional glass okay or should i completely avoid? what did you do?
They're not poison but really not recommended, the sugar and caffeine arent doing you or baby any good. Occasional is okay for most, but if you have any sugar or BP concerns, check with your gynac first.
I'd say stay off them, especially because of the sugar. I got gestational diabetes and had to cut all sugary drinks, those soft drinks were the first to go. Plain water with lemon or chaas is a safer swap.
Actually I cut them out completely, just felt too bloated after. Yaar that bubbly feeling plus pregnancy gas is not a fun combo. Stuck to lime water mostly, felt fresher.
Ugh the craving for cold cola was real for me haha. I allowed myself a tiny bit once in a while but mostly went for fresh juice or jaljeera to feel that fizz-ish kick. Moderation is the trick.
Better to avoid yaar, they have loads of sugar and caffeine and zero benefit. An odd sip at a party wont end the world, but dont make it a habit. I switched to nimbu paani and coconut water, way better.
