What do you drink now?
I just found out I am pregnant and I don't know what to drink? I know caffine is not good, so no soda. What about Sprite or Diet Sprit? Is Crystal Light ok? Any info you can share would be great, I am very new at this.
THanks!

Re: What do you drink now?
After going on a slight health kick after my first was born, my drinking habits haven't changed much for this pregnancy [well, I cut out ALL the margaritas I used to get on Fridays ]...I only drink water, orange juice and occasionally, lemonade. [I'm allergic to milk so I take additional supplements and my OJ is the plus calcium and D always]
You should TRY to refrain from caffeine and fake sweeteners as much as possible/totally just to be the safest. Most drs. will say a cup of coffee a day is ok and I've heard Splenda is approved...but since I don't drink anything with them, I haven't asked my dr. personally.

Re: What do you drink now?
Im almost "done" with my pregnancy but Ive been drinking:
Water ( a lot of it)
Flavored water (with lunch or dinner made with Splenda a few times a week)
Seltzer (Love it)
Milk
100% juice (apple, orange)
On occasion (company or out to dinner 1 glass of Sprite)..I HATE reg. soda and cant have diet, so Sprite is the best tasting soda to me. I also "think" root beer is caffiene free.

Re: What do you drink now?
I drink water and milk mainly. Sometimes I have a soda, but very rarely. I avoid anything with artificial sweetners, including splenda, since the effects aren't really known.

Re: What do you drink now?
I drink watered down ice tea, juice i also drink in moderation things with splenda.
THis pg i can't do milk, but i have drank soda when the craving comes.
I can't drink plain water, so i have been trying to get creative on what to flavor it.
I also have 1 cup of caffeinated tea a day, with an 8 month old and being pg, there's no way i could make it through the day!

Re: What do you drink now?
at first I freaked out and tried to be all healthy and honestly I felt worse, so I stopped being so anal about what I drink and I feel much better... I drink tea, try to drink decaf but sometimes I will drink regular tea... at work I drink mostly water, juices at home and sometimes gingerale or decaf coke if I want some bubbly...

Green tea in the morning.
Really? My doctor said green tea depletes the vitamins in your prenatal. Hmmm, I like green tea, maybe I can look into that.
I drink water and milk mainly. Although b/c I had (stil have ) m/s my doctor said caffiene free soda if I can keep it down.

Re: What do you drink now?
I drink mostly water (sometimes with lemon or make my own lemonade for a change). When I want something different I mix in some juice. I also drink milk. When I go out I will drink a caffeine free soda such as sprite or gingerale. I stay away from all diet (aspirteme) and caffeine althougth my doctor said 1 cup of caffeine a day was okay - I just don't find I miss it.

Re: What do you drink now?
Diet soda is not good because of the artificial sweeteners. That has been the hardest thing for me to give up. I drink water, skim milk and juice. Although, yesterday I drank regular ginger ale because my tummy was upset.
