How many sodas can I have a day without being a bad person? I want them constantly and it's getting worse the farther along I get! I didn't have any 1st tri but in the 3rd I'm having at least one a day. I have also had 70 ounces of water today--does that cancel out soda?

I was the same way! I was really good in the first tri, but by the third I was really craving it! I did about one a day and made sure to add plenty of water to stay hydrated (I drink a lot of tea).
-
I think one a day given you limit your caffeine intake elsewhere is okay since we're "limited" to 300mg per day. I think a can (diet) dr pepper has like 42mg of caffeine.
-
I'm pretty sure my doc said 200mg of caffeine a day was safe. A can of coke is like 35 mg. You'd need to drink a lot of soda to hit your limit!
-
I have been the same way. But I splurge more on my one coffee a day more than soda. I was an all star for over half way through...now its just getting harder to resist.
-
I had at least one a day, I say as long as it's not over done and you are drinking enough water, you are fine!
-
If I have another 12 oz. soda, that's only 24 ounces...which is still smaller than a movie theater soda...so I think that would be okay?
-
@tororojo: I think so!
My doctor said the caffeine limit is 300mg a day. A Diet Coke has 50mg, so she said I could have 6 a day if I wanted. I limit to 1-2 mostly because to much caffeine and I won't be able to sleep.
-
@tororojo: If you are worried about caffeine you can get caffeine free soda like sprite , ginger ale or caffeine free coke
-
@Mrsbells: I don't know what part of it concerns me, I just feel guilty sometimes for not eating like a model citizen. But I do get my fruits and veggies and water in. I really only like caffeinated colas--the clear stuff doesn't do it for me!
@Smurfette: Interesting! I definitely don't think I'd do more than 2 so thank you, that makes me feel justified.
-
I try to limit myself to 0-2 per day.
My problem is that I want diet and can't stand regular anymore and my Dr. suggested staying away from aspartame (mostly what's in diet).
-
So... I didn't drink any caffeine, at all, until 37 weeks. In the last 2 weeks, I've had probably 4 or 5 caffeinated sodas because I just couldn't hold out anymore! It's probably terrible to go from zero to this, but I could no longer resist a cherry vanilla coke from Sonic :).
I keep telling myself I'm helping to get the baby used to a little caffeine so I won't have to abstain the whole time I'm breastfeeding. Logical, right? Ha...
-
I would think two a day would be fine. Not the greatest for you, but whatever, ya know? You're eating healthy otherwise and getting all your water, so you gotta have a splurge somewhere
I was drinking a lot of flavored sparkling water (grapefruit la croix, for example) because it was that, ginger ale, and lemonade in my first tri, and I felt bad about too much full-sugar ginger ale 
-
I would go for it, have one if you're craving it. Drinks your water but give in to that craving, too.
I drank a lot of root beer during my pregnancy - no caffeine. I didn't drink much soda during my pregnancy /one of the few things I gave up) and let me tell you what, that diet coke I had after she was born?.. Amazing!!
-
Heh... I started out being good having 1... and now I'm more like 3 a day
I think it ends up being around 120mg of caffeine? I know it's not the best for me, but I also drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. I was drinking 5+ a day before getting pregnant, so I consider this a vast improvement -
Eh, i probably had about 1 or 2 a day. And I never drink soda when I wasn't pregnant.
-
agh I am CRAVING diet coke. im going to buy a huge case to have on hand once he gets here
i'm having them every once in awhile now but i want to drink them in bulk. haha. i'm okay with a little caffeine but feel guilty about the aspertame.
