I get this strong urge for a cold soft drink especially after meals, gives some relief from the bloating. but now im second guessing if its okay during pregnancy. anyone still having it occasionally?
Be careful with soda, all that sugar is not great especially if your sugar levels are being watched, mine were. I switched to plain or lightly flavoured water. If you really want fizz, occasional small amount, but ask your doctor if you have GD.
Occasional sip wont harm but soda is just sugar and caffeine, no good. I cut it down a lot in both pregnancies. Go for nimbu paani, coconut water, plain water instead, much better for you and the baby.
Ha if a cold soda once in a blue moon was banned, half of us wouldnt survive the cravings. But honestly its mostly sugar, so treat it like a rare treat not a daily thing. Coconut water tastes way better with all this guilt removed anyway.
It's not poison but it's empty calories, sugar and caffeine, so best kept to a rare treat rather than daily. There are way better ways to stay hydrated. If you have any condition, run it past your gynac.
