how many diet cokes in 1 day is ok? 1st tri-ish. Too bad i'm not apologizing.

before you get all holier than thou and say 0, refrain from replying cause it's to go with my daily deli meat sammy.

I'm REALLY cranky....my walk went badly because the dog kept tugging during a contraction and I got cold and couldnt zip my hoodie OR jacket. I'm super irritable and will ignore snark.

I only have 1 a week, if that....I used to have at least one a day before the pregnancy, then in my first trimester I got sick on a Diet Coke so that kind of thwarted my taste for it!

There are about 34mg of caffeine in a 12oz can of Diet Coke. If you stick by the rule of no more than 300mg of caffeine a day and you didn't have any other caffeine, you could have about 8 1/2cans of soda.

Of course, I don't know what the limit on artificial sweetner is, so 8 1/2 cans of soda might be overkill. But I'd say you're definitely fine with one and probably still fine with 2 or 3.

Now I really want a diet coke. I think I may run downstairs and get one.

I have 1 or 2 some days - depends on if I skip my morning coffee or not.

My doc said I can have a cup of coffee a day which is approx 100-120mg of caffine. There is only about 30mg of caffine in coke......so I would think you could have up to 3 if you really wanted.....

I haven't had a Diet Coke since before I was pregnant - but now I am craving one! I think you should be fine with a couple, like pp said you can have 300 mg. of caffeine a day, I am sure if you are asking you are definatly trying to limit that. Go with a couple and you should be good.

Now off to find a Diet Coke, because that is all I want now Smile

Jada_5479 · March 2009

I forgot about the artificial sweetener! I would just drink regular....but that's just me.

AimeeLori · March 2009

I drink one cup of coffee in the morning and one diet coke at lunch (that rounds me out to about 150mg per day). I don't drink them both every day...but usually. I get POWERFUL cranky if I don't have them. I think you'll be fine with a couple if you're having a rough morning!

asnowracer · March 2009

2 was the answer I was looking for. Thanks for the validation!

mommiella · March 2009

I drink 2 big cups of 1/2 caf coffee in the morning and a diet coke most afternoons. I'm not concerned about it. Depending on your level of chemical hysteria, 2 or 3 is probably fine.

DDK513 · March 2009

asnow, I'd think one 12oz can per day is OK.

tnmaybride04 · March 2009

I have one or two most days. Even at 2 that is less than 75 mg of caffeine. I'm not anal about the artificial sweetners, though I was more so at the beginning. I have lots of friends who drank diet drinks while pregnant and their kiddos are fine. Still haven't gotten the results back from my 3 hour and if I have GD, I am pretty sure that I would be miserable with nothing sweet for 10 more weeks.

tlcalloway · March 2009

now i want one....really, really really, badly...too bad that the acidity is one of the triggers for my pg acid indigestion....ugh

i am jealous

mescolotton · March 2009

I usually have 2 diet cokes every day. It's so refreshing to see that I'm not the only one. I'm so sick of hearing people judge me for ordering a soda! Just about an hour ago the lady at Wendy's tried to refuse to sell me a diet coke.

el25 · March 2009

I had one or two everyday during my last trimester and my baby is perfect. Don't let anyone judge you. I took Prozac until week 26 and Simply Sleep at night to sleep also. Again, my baby is perfect.

AshleyKass · March 2009

I have one a day.

demmie326 · March 2009

I have a couple of cans of coke a week. My doctor gave his blessing as coke has been found to settle an upset stomach and of course does wonders for a headache!
