Re: I know soda is bad - but what kinds can I have if I crave it???
I have to admit, i still have my can or so of diet coke a day...doctor said its 100% fine. Its less than 50 mgs of caffeine, and under 300 mgs or so is ok per day (i don't have that much, but still..
Other drinks i have are an occasional can of regular sprite, flavored seltzer and decaf iced tea...

I allow myself a coke a day, preferably caffeine free and I stopped drinking diet.
I also drink a lot of vitamin water.
Cream Soda and Root beer are caffeine free (not all cream soda's though so double check that).

I totally understand because I am also a HUGE diet coke fan. My doctor said one a day was fine.

Before getting pregnant, I would drink Diet Coke for breakfast (not kidding...). The month before I got pregnant, I went cold turkey. During my pregnancy I would drink either water or Sprite. I wanted to drink things that were caffeine free and no aspartame.

What about Coke Zero or Pepsi One? I know there is a soda out there that doesn't have asparteme in it just not sure which one. At the end of my pregnancy, I was drinking a can of caffiene free diet coke every once in a while.

There are tons of sodas that are caffeine free- gingerale, sprite, rootbeer, cream soda, orange soda... Just make sure they're caffeine free and don't over do it, because they do have a lot of sugar.

I am not a soda drinker but do like Ginger Ale and have drank it quite often this pregnancy and it has NO caffeine.

I quit drinking any form of diet once I got pregnant. I drink regular soda, I just buy it caffeine free. If I can't get it caffeine free, I'll limit myself to one a day!

I drank 1 can of coke almost every single day of my pregnancy because I craved it so bad...and it HAD to be in the can because I felt the can tasted different than the bottle...
OMG I was the same way.... but I think I was def. pushing 2 cans a day... one at lunch, and one with dinner...
IT HAD TO BE THE CAN THOUGH

Re: I know soda is bad - but what kinds can I have if I crave it???
I still drink diet soda almost every day. I only drink Pepsi One or Diet Coke with Splenda. These do not have aspartame. Splenda does not cross the placental barrier and it is made from sugar -- they just "twist" the molecule to make it sweeter than sugar which is why it is less calories. I try to keep the caffeine to less than 300mg/day. Each 12 ounces of diet soda has about 50mg. I don't have 6 sodas a day, so I don't worry too much about it.

I had soda when I felt like it.. usually when we went out to dinner or sometimes with lunch at work. Sometimes water just ain't gonna cut it!
