Its summer and i keep craving cold drinks like cola and chilled buttermilk. My MIL says cold things are not good for baby but i feel so thirsty all the time. Anyone else having cold stuff in their pregnancy?
My amma also kept saying thanda mat pi, baby ko cough ho jayega. Honestly cold water doesnt reach the baby na, it all comes to your tummy only. I had cold buttermilk sometimes and it was totally fine, my doc had no issue.
Please be careful with the fizzy soft drinks specially. I got gestational diabetes in my 6th month and the sugar in those bottles is huge. Plain cold water or chaas is much safer choice.
Yaar if cold drinks were banned half of us moms wouldnt survive Indian summer pregnant lol. Limca craving was real for me. Just dont overdo the sugary ones, simple.
Cold drink as in soft drinks should be limited mainly for the sugar and caffeine, not the temperature. Best to ask ur gynac what amount she is ok with for u specifically. Mine said one occasionally is no big deal.
Cold things wont harm the baby, thats just an old belief. But the soda and sugar in cold drinks is the real problem, too much is not good. Once in a while is fine, just dont make it a daily habit.
