Sodas / Soft drinks while Pregnant

Abana

It'll be harmful if you're drinking too much sodas. If it's in moderation, it's ok. But ideally, you should be eating healthily during pregnancy. That means ZERO on sodas and other non-nutritious foods. It's just 9 months on pure focus to your well-being and to your baby's health.

Yeah, seems that our sweet-tooth cravings during pregnancy are hard to resist. But just to be on the safe side, it's best to be avoided. But we might wallow in self-pity when we do so. LOL!!

I believe sodas are addictive. That is, when you've stopped drinking them your appetite for them goes down. Try to find a healthier and more natural alternative. Yes, sweets should be eaten in capital "Moderation" but I'd go for the sweets that are natural rather than yummy treats that are oozing with preservatives- it's a "lose-lose" situation.

Yeah, they are addictive. I've realized that when I went to a diet. I loved sodas but when I stopped for a month, I never "missed" its taste.

Oh, is that so? Well, I'm not really a die-hard cola fanatic but I admit, there are times that I'd opt grabbing a bottle of Coke rather than sipping a healthy fruit shake...

Abana

You're right. Craving for it once in a while is fine I believe. But better not to while pregnant. It's hard but come to think of it, it's just 9 months of being on "extra" healthy living.

The cravings actually made me cranky (I need to have them!) I think it's more of a torture on hubbies than us

Oh, easier said than done!

Edda

But thinking that our kids depend on us, we couldn't avoid taking care of ourselves as well- all for them!

This is so relatable now that I'm on a diet. Need to get rid of the excess pounds I've gained during pregnancy!
