Soft drink cravings!

[Enchanted]

Ok, this is reeeeeaaaaaallllly bad but all I want to drink is soft drink!!

Water and cordial won't cut it. It has to be nice and cold a fizzy. My faves are lemonade and Lift! I cannot get enough of them

Is this bad? I am trying to not drink them as much as I want but I am drinking 2 cans a day at the moment.

Is this bad for my litte bubba?

lol danni - i am in love with sparkling water and soda water atm - was the same last preg.
you could add some cordial to that - less sugar etc??
YUM!
but if that wont cut it, while the suagr isnt ideal i guess, 2 cans aint gonna harm the baby and is nothing compared to what some ppl consume when preg!

That's a great idea... I never thought of that! I'm heading off to the supermarket soon so will pick some up!

I gather that lemonade and Lift is better than coke and I know people who drank that the whole way through their pregnancy.... and their bubbas are fine! Ah... the things we get to stress over!!

exactly def not as bad as coke (caffeine etc) but i personally avoid the diet ones too bc of the chemicals... i remember a big craving for solo last time...
the way i see it if you can avoid the sugar/chemicals most of the time - great (hence my fizzy water and juice/cordial thing) and then the odd time you cant - go for it!

I love fizzy drinks lately when the weather gets warm and drink caffiene free diet coke. Supermarkets have a lot of nice diet varieties but if drinking diet I guess the acids in it would be a concern...but we're probably not drinking enough to harm ourselves.

Considered mixing cordial with sparkling or soda water?
