Soda is the new Alcohol?

Uh oh someone call the pregnant police I'm drinking a coffee right now

I thought I felt drunk after that can of Pepsi! Who knew! Lol

Yikes... I'm glad they didn't see me while I was pregnant! I had Terrible terrible migraines and my dr said I was fine to have a fountain drink here and there. It's better than popping pills lol... People today are so worried over everything

Right now, with my HG, coke and sprite are about all I can keep down. It's easing up finally but I had to decide not to beat myself up for it for a small amount of time.

Well screw that person. Drama queen much

I wouldn't say it's comparable, but high fructose corn syrup is so bad for you

It's her body and her baby, a soda every once in a while won't hurt the kid. I still drink coffee occasionally and get so many dirty looks and unwanted comments when I go to Starbucks but I just ignore them.

She tried to make a joke about it, and the person came back on her harder, So she definitely wasn't joking when she said it

That's dramatic for sure. Yes, soda probably isn't the most healthy beverage choice out there, but its FAR from alcohol. Its not remotely on the same level. It's not like you're going to give your baby fetal alcohol syndrome. It's pretty much just sugar and caffeine.

In moderation, soda is no big deal. It sounds like some women just like to judge others for just about anything.

I think that's dumb. I was actually only drinking a can of coke a day and was told to drink a little more caffeine because of migraines. :l

I agree that it's ridiculous of them to give her such a hard time amount some soda, but caffeine is not they only thing bad about it. It has tons of sugar, even worse in the form high fructose corn syrup...then if it's diet the artificial sweeteners are bad. 6 cans a day is insane. Imo drinking that amount regularly is just as bad as occasional alcohol.

seems extreme to me. Ppl should mind there own business sometimes!!

I drank one coke a day. You are allowed a certain amount of caffeine.

People are stupid.

From the research I've done, and what I was told by my doctor, a pregnant woman can safety consume 300mg of caffeine a day

It's ok to have up to 6 cans of coke a day. I have 1 at most but that is a personal choice. X

^^^ this is what happens when an 8 month old gets a hold of your phone!

I drink caffeine occasionally and my daughter is growing above average.

People will find anything to bash pregnant women and mothers for, yet I'm sure over half of them have drank caffeine during pregnancy at some point. The doctor will even tell you a little caffeine here and there isn't bad. People really need to get a life.

Ado I c

Stuuuuuupid.
