Coke

Chfschork · December 2013

Who drinks a soda everyday? I read this article about it containing a high level of mercury. My doctor had never said anything about this.

I drink a bottle of gingerale every day. Haven't heard anything bad except caffeine

GolfWidow001 · December 2013

I usually have one (maybe two) Coke a day...depending what I feel like. I did with my first too and she turned out just fine. It's said to not exceed 200mg of caffeine per day. As long as you're under that, everything will be fine.

Google is NOT your friend. Listen to your doctor.

Yeah, there's a ton of crap in Coke. And Gatorade. And flavored sparkling water. And a bunch of juices. And most processed foods. But is it going to noticeably affect your baby if you partake in moderation? That's up for us each to decide;)

I've been having about one coke a day during 1st tri because sometimes I just can't stomach water when my MS is at it's worst and I need sips of something.

I drink it when I have a craving. We don't keep soda in the house, and the carbonation gives me burps, so I tend to stay away. However, when I want one I drink one.

It gives me nosebleeds and makes me wicked hyper so I'm avoiding it. Ohhhh......coca cola. Sorry for the confusion, didn't read the whole post.

I've had a can of caffeine free coke almost every day. I agree it's easier to drink when km nauseous.

I drink one coke or pepsi a day and have since I found out I was pregnant. My dr has never mentioned anything about it.

Beeank · December 2013

My midwife just asked me to stop drinking it but I typically drink a can every other day. It helps with my nausea more than ginger ale

That soda stream and fruit idea is rad! I might have to get one of those

snowpants · December 2013

Before this pregnancy I almost never drank soda (maybe one every couple months at the most) but right now Coke is about the only thing that settles my stomach. I throw up Sierra Mist and even Ginger Ale, but a regular Coke works.

I buy the small cans that come in 8-packs and they are 7.5 oz each. I tend to drink one every day lately but trick myself into thinking it's not so bad because It's the smallest size I can get.

I love coke or ginger ale for settling my stomach. I have never heard anything about mercury. If I were to worry about anything, it would be the insane amounts of sugar. But, I think one a day is fine, really. Since booze is off the table we need SOMETHING fun to drink!

binkybabies · December 2013

I didn't drink anything with caffeine in it the first 8-10 weeks but my OB said one can of coke or one caffeinated drink a day is fine. Coca Cola settles my stomach and since I have a nasty cough going on, it helps with that too.

Piper1Chapman · December 2013

I am fairly certain that mercury is not an ingredient in coke. If you want one, have one!

cristykaye · December 2013

I have one most days. I don't buy it by te pack or 2 liter bottles. I did yesterday though because of the weather and I didn't want get out. My doc asked how much I drank and I told her honestly that I have one and day and a cup of coffee. I stopped the coffee when I was getting shaky after it and she said as long as the coke didn't make me shaky all was fine.

I would be less concerned about the mercury and more about all the sugar. I don't drink regular soda for this reason, only gingerale from time to time. I'm also more suseptible to GD, which is another reason to stay away from sod and other sugary drinks. Who wants to drink their calories anyway?? Wouldn't you rather have a big juicy burger or something! Mmmmmm dammit now I'm hungry.

PinkKEL9 · December 2013

I LOVE Dr. Pepper. It is the only soda I drink. Even when I'm not pregnant, I would never have more than 1 cup/can a day. But I try to limit it now to every other day. But I seriously look forward to drinking them. Ha!

Luna C · December 2013

I was a diet coke junkie but gave it up once I found out. (I'm not being overly cautious, I just lost my taste for it.)

However, I have been going MAD for root beer, cherry soda, and pink lemonade. I'm rationing myself due to all the sugar, but if I let loose, I could easily drink a gallon a day of the stuff.
