Gatorade G2

SamanthAnalise · January 2016

I will be 30 weeks on Friday, and I only drink water and Sprite, every day. I went to the doctor and was a little dehydrated. Tonight, I had some of the mini bottle of a Gatorade G2. I didn't even drink the whole thing.. Really not even half. But, then I read that they have Artificial Sweetners. I also know they have a lot of Sugar and Sodium. So, I got concerned. Is this ok to have one every now and then? Did anyone else have Gatorade G2?
Thanks y'all.

I'm sure you'll be fine

I just am a worrier! But, I guess it would really matter if you're drinking them everyday all day.

Yes, you're fine! Sprite is honestly probably not much better and it definitely beats getting dehydrated. THAT would be bad for you and baby for sure.

baby is fine. if you're okay with drinking Sprite, then you should be okay drinking Gatorade. Sprite is packed with sugar & artificial sweeteners.

Gatorade saved my life during my 1st Tri MS. i drank so much.

I guess I just am not used to drinking so much sugar though, because I feel like it's making me jittery!

Sprite has more than double the sugar of Gatorade G2

that's what i was thinking. Sprite, & soda's in general, would have a lot more sugar in them. plus, you said you had less than a half a mini Gatorade. that shouldn't make you feel jittery.

You'll be fine. If you're concerned about getting rehydrated and putting natural stuff in your body, I'd stay far away from Sprite due to the sugar. You can make your own electrolyte drink with a ratio of 1/3 juice to 2/3 water and a pinch of sea salt.

This is making my three sodas a day look terrible...

So I just polished off a giant bottle of yellow Gatorade (one of my pregnancy cravings). Like 32oz. And I had a pop earlier. And a splenda each in my two coffees this morn. This is pretty much a daily thing for me here. And with each pregnancy. All three of my babies have been healthy so far. I hardly think less than half of a "mini bottle" of G2 is going to hurt your baby.
I had a glass of wine last night. No worries.

Lol, my dad still tries telling me that I can't have coffee or teas because of the caffeine.. good thing he doesn't realize I get a 32 Oz fountain Pepsi almost every day

ceds07 · January 2016

You drink soda every day and you're worried about half a bottle of Gatorade?? For real?

flowerpower5838 · January 2016

^^^ Amen. Seriously, just because Sprite is clear doesn't mean it's "good" for you. I am not knocking soda drinking during pregnancy, but your logic seems to be lacking a little bit.

alligreer88 · January 2016

I think the girls talking about soda consumption aren't the original post and agree that some soda/Gatorade is okay. I think we were all trying to say we do way worse, g2 isn't that bad..

flowerpower5838 · January 2016

@alligreer88 Not being snarky but I have no idea what you are trying to say. Her post talks about how she drinks Sprite every single day, but she is worried because she drank an entire SMALL bottle of Gatorade. No one understands why someone would be worried about Gatorade when they aren't worried about drinking soda.

ETA: words for clarification

ceds07 · January 2016

@alligreer88 I agree with @flowerpower5838 - OP specifically mentioned she drank Sprite *every day*. It was actually completely related...

alligreer88 · January 2016

All I was trying to say is that we all seem to agree the soda is worse than the G2, and many of us are drinking soda - so everyone past the original post is just trying to say calm down.

flowerpower5838 · January 2016

@alligreer88 Ahhh I gotcha. Your words I don't think were matching up with what you were trying to say lol. At least not to me! But yes, I agree. OP needs to take a deep break and calm down a bit. Wooosahhhhhh

Cassie57 · January 2016

Oh goodness! If you only knew what I eat and drink. For starters a healthy breakfast to me is left over waffles from my son chased by a couple cups of coffee lol. Try and relax and enjoy your pregnancy instead of stressing. And maybe even have a half a glass of wine, it will do you good

bdanks · January 2016

Dr. Pepper and McDonald's coke are my cravings. Somedays I only have one and somedays I drink a bottle of water and then a soda alternating all day long. I feel guilty about that. I wish I could feel guilty about a gatorade, but I don't even like the stuff that much. Sorry if that comes off rude not trying to be just sharing my thoughts. Lol.
