Dumb question re: what's OK to eat

I've been chewing as ton of peppermint gum for the morning sickness. Is this OK? When I was PG with DD I never touched gum - I was worried about all the artifical flavorings.

Also - I've been drinking 1 root beer a day - it seems to help. Is this OK? (other than the caffeine)

Re: Dumb question re: what's OK to eat

My doctor told me 1 cup of coffee -or- 3 cups of soda a day. A 12oz can of root beer is about a cup and a hlf, so you're fine.

I stay away from artificial sweeteners, although I've heard they are safe.

if root beer helps, def drink itChat Icon one soda a day is not going to harm the baby
as for gum, i have been trying to chew gum that is not sugarless, but i have chewed it before and dont think its a big deal, theri is a lot conflicting stories about the artifical sweetners, i would def stay away from putting that stuff on my cofee or other treats, but i dont think the gum is a big deal, thats my poinion anyway

Re: Dumb question re: what's OK to eat

Root Beer is one of those sodas that can have caffiene or may not have any.

Just like Orange Soda.

You just have to check the labels.

Hmm, the A&W cream soda in my fridge has caffeine :) , I could have sworn it does! I loveee root beer and i stayed away from it while pg with DD especially a&W.

Hmmmm, so weird! You are right the cream soda does, but not the root beer, how weird!

Re: Dumb question re: what's OK to eat

I eat a fair amount of fake sugar because I was diagnosed with hypogylcemia when I was 15 and they make practically everything sugar free now. I will try to cut down but I dont honestly think I will cut it all out.

Re: Dumb question re: what's OK to eat

I drank one can of coke EVERY morning that I was PG and sometimes another when I was craving it. My DD is just fine...

My doc was all about moderation...which is why I love him.
