nausea is so bad that only thing settling my stomach is a few sips of cold sprite. but its cold drink so I feel guilty drinking it. anyone else had sprite in early pregnancy for the matli feeling?
Ah, those early pregnancy cravings! I remember drinking Sprite once or twice when my morning sickness was bad, and my toddler is now a healthy 2-year-old. Just have it in limit, a small glass won't hurt, but fresh lime water is a healthier option.
I also had a huge craving for Sprite to ease my nausea in early pregnancy and panicked after drinking a glass. My doctor reassured me that a few sips occasionally are perfectly fine. Just don't make it a daily habit because of the high sugar.
Honestly, I am in my third trimester now and so tired of all the 'don't eat this, don't drink that' advice! Sprite is fine for an occasional craving, just don't drink a whole bottle. Keep it to a few sips to tackle that annoying nausea.
I can't give medical advice, but honestly, Sprite really helped me with my bad metallic taste and nausea in the first trimester. I only had a few sips when it was unbearable. You should check with your doctor if you're unsure.
Please be very careful with what you consume, especially in the early weeks. Cold aerated drinks like Sprite have too much sugar and gas, which isn't good. Since I had a few complications, I'd strongly suggest asking your doctor before having such drinks.
Sprite has zero nutritional value and too much artificial sugar, which isn't great. If you have nausea, try sipping ginger water or fresh nimbu paani instead. I kept my diet very clean and stuck to light walking as allowed by my doctor to feel better.
