Im in my second trimester and honestly craving a cold soft drink so badly in this heat. But i feel guilty everytime i think of it. is it ok to have once in a while or should i completely avoid?
An occasional sip wont harm but sodas are full of sugar and caffeine, so better to limit them. I switched mostly to nimbu pani and coconut water. If you really crave a fizzy drink once in a while, keep it rare.
I had to completely cut sugary sodas due to my sugar levels, they spike it instantly. Even if you dont have that issue, the sugar isnt great in pregnancy. I went for soda water with lemon when I wanted fizz, that helped.
If you crave one occasionally, dont beat yourself up yaar. Just dont make it a daily thing. I had one rarely and switched to fresh juices mostly, felt better too.
