Sprite??

Nicole0752

Everyone at work is getting on me about drinking sprite. It is the only thing that quenches my thirst anymore though. Is is really that bad that I have a 20oz everyday?

At least it doesn't have caffeine.  But if it was me...I would try to limit it a bit.

The sugar isn't good for you, but at least it's caffeine free.  I've been living on Sprite and Ginger Ale the whole pregnancy and nothing has happened to me.  You're fine!

I've been drinking soda right along - diet, regular, caffeinated and non, whatever.  There are worse things you could be drinking.  Just make sure you get enough water too.

Sprite was all I could keep down when I first found out I was pregnant.  I drank so much of it that I finally got tired of it.  I moved to Ginger Ale and now all I can stomach is water..  Sprite is caffeine free but you may want to limit it because of sugar!

Tell the people at work that they're dumb and drink up!  20oz of Sprite is going to do NOTHING!  I drink at least 12-20oz of Dr. Pepper a day.  They can come mess with me instead!

I drink sprite and/or Dr pepper at least once a day. It's caffeine free (the sprite, not the DP) and if it makes you feel better drink up! My OB said to stay under 300 mg of caffeine a day... that is 4-5 cans of pop. WAY more than you are drinking!?

umm ya you should tell them to shut the fluck up.  What you drink is none of anyones business.  You should definitely drink more water than anything, but that gets boring.  I drink myself a 20 ounce of sprite, 7 up, gingerale, dr. pepper, cherry pepsi, whatever I want most days.  It's my body and my child and I am a big believer in "everything in moderation." I don't give 2 shits about what anyone around me says or thinks and i'll happily tell them! GL!

I agree that it's nobody's business what you are drinking but if you can cut back on the Sprite intake, it's probably a good idea. Only because of the amount of sugar and the possibility of Gestational Diabetes further in your pregnancy. (My OB mentioned that to me after I said I drank caffeine-free soda?Dr. Brown's Black Cherry mostly.)

Agree with the PP, just tell them to shut their pie whole, it is none of their business.  I did drink a lot of sprite early on to help with m/s.  Now I am forcing myself to drink more water.  GL!

Tell them to come visit me. I'm drinking coffee right now. I'll get them off your back )

Sprites not that bad but I personally prefer diet...I don't need the extra calories =/

I was the same way during the first trimester!! ?i couldn't stand water - it grossed me out and made me run to the bathroom to puke just thinking about drinking it (crazy huh)

at my first appointment my husband ratted me out to the dr and told her i wasn't drinking water - she said not to worry about it - it was more important to get some form of liquid down - and sprite is caffeine free. ?she told me that by the second trimester i should be able to drink water with out it grossing me out and she was right... now i can't get enough water.

?talk to you dr... ignore everybody else!! ? you'll start to think everything you do is going to hurt your baby and its hopeless... but its more than likely your baby will be just fine and healthy!!

You are fine!  Don't worry what other people get onto you about.

That's so dumb. I drink at least 2 cans of regular coke a day, then 1 can of caffeine free with dinner.  On days we go out to dinner, it's sometimes more.

Between week 6 to week 8 sprite was the only thing that kept my stomach calm. If I even attempted water I started to gag. I really tried to sip it during the day, but when I was really thirsty I drank how much I wanted. It really is noone elses business.

I drink sprite. I think it is fine. It is probably the best soda, because it has no caffeine and it is not diet.

hiljill

I would tell them to mind their own business.  It probably isn't great for you, but it won't hurt anything either.

I drink a 20 ounce Sprite most days too its was the only thing I could keep down and the people at work get on my freaking nerves too. Now I am able to drink water somewhat without getting sick but everyone is different and you have to do what you need to do so you wont get dehydrated.

 

Good Luck
