Frozen Coke from gas stations isn't caffeinated — a pregnancy craving worth knowing about
Rest assured ladies if you are getting frozen coke from speedway, Circle K, or any gas station; they are not caffeinated. There is only around 10 to 12 fl oz iof the syrup in each large cup because the majority of it is crunched up ice.
I know it's not for everyone, but it's a common craving in pregnancies and I've been studying rather hard on them lately.

Coke slurpees are LIFE during my first trimester.. for my first and current pregnancies

@cit0.bunni They help with everything don't they? As soon as I drink one everything painful just stops. It's crazy.
I believe it's better for people with severe morning sickness too; because you get water in a different slower way and it chills you off.

@theamazingartist2007 absolutely to all!! Especially when I have such a craving for ice in general.
I just had one this afternoon haha

I used to drink then when I was a kid too, they taste nothing like the on brand coke at all.
But yesss I have one every day. I walk to the gas station and get one of the small wide cups. I like the ice. :)

I have been loving them this pregnancy. Can only find them at Target and Burger King where I live though.

@tlilly86 The on brand Icees at burgerking are A-okay; but watch out with those ones in the mall. They are not the same. I remember when I got one once we came back to indiana and it was SO brown. I am pretty sure it was thick with coka colas syrup. But burger king is the best ♡ they always have it perfectly mixed.

@theamazingartist2007, yeah I only get them every once in a while from Burger King. We don’t have one very close to our house. I usually drink ice cold water all day, which has been another odd craving. I usually like my water at room temperature but can’t stomach it unless it’s ice cold while pregnant.

@tlilly86 I couldn't drink water at all during my first few weeks and then I became dehydrated because every time I would try I would throw up just about everything. It used to be horrible. Today is my first day off my nausea medicine, I want to see how I'll do. I've always loved ice cold water ♡.

@theamazingartist2007, I was in and out of the hospital from being so sick. I still have to take my nausea medicine about 3-4 times a week because I’ve been sick the whole time. Just glad it’s calmed down from what it was. Glad you’re doing better now.

@tlilly86 It's the same for me, the mothers in my family had no idea what was going on, I'm not sure if this is a new thing that new moms have to go through now but it's so horrible. I am so happy you're doing better ♡
