Guilty pleasure...

Ok... So I know when you're pregnant you should stay away from diet sodas.  But I am obsessed with diet coke.  I cant help it!!  I try to keep it to one can a day, but I feel like I could be harming my baby.  Thoughts?

does it have to be "diet?" I have never been a fan of the "sugar substitue" that is in diet pops.

can you have one half of a regualar (full fat) pop?

Something about the flavor of the diet coke I really like.  Dont know why.  I didnt really care about it until I got pregnant and now I just want it all the time.  Weird!

My Ob told that one diet coke a day is fine. I also am a lover of diet coke.

I had one a day through my pregnancy, although somedays especially towards the end I caved and had two. My doctor said he would rather me have diet than regular.  He was the one who suggested I drink it because of the awful headaches I had during pregnancy. After I had my baby, I craved it even more! I really need to stop since I know it is not that great for you.

I drank at least one day throughout both of my pregnancies and my children don't have any extra limbs.
