I like to drink at least one or two caffiene free soda, like ginger ale or sprite daily should I be ok. It seem to calm my stomach when it`s upset.

I stopped drinking it years ago, but for some reason during pregnancy the carbonation just made the all day nausea feel much better. I started having one or two a day and the weight started coming on strong! I am normally a very tiny person. The downfall is that I have to say I can blame the soda I drank for a good 5 or 6 extra pounds I gained. Once I stopped drinking it I gained weight much more moderately! I should have known better. But at the time it felt right...Congrats on your pregnancy!

But if you need it to settle your stomach at this point, then go for it! Ginger ale helped me a little bit. What I really like to drink is lemonade. Lemons have that soothing anti-nausea property plus it's a little sour which also helps settle the stomach.

everythingX2 - 67 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) u can have up to 300mg of caffine a day while prego! 1 can of normal coke has approx 30mg of caffine so if ur on caffine free then a couple a day shouldnt harm u at all. maybe give u gas or heartburn cause of the bubbles (thats what i found anyway) but ur ok to drink it. just make sure u drink plenty of water or diluted juice or fruit juice if ur not a fan of water as the bubbles can help dehydrate u a little faster.
