[quote=Anonymous]My GP and OB both told me that Coke really isn't a big deal during pregnancy unless you have gestational diabetes. If you normally consume a lot of caffeine, it's actually a good way to scratch that itch because it's way less caffeine than coffee and the sugar can give you a little kick, too. I have migraines and my OB actually encouraged me to drink a soda if I felt like one might come on, since I had to switch off my normal migraine meds to something less effective during pregnancy.

And late in my pregnancy, having a a glass of Coke with ice helped settle my stomach and made the acid reflux a lot more tolerable. Again, I told my doc and she said it was fine.

The bigger issue is making sure you get enough water. But if you are drinking plenty of water, taking your prenatal, and your diet is otherwise solid, I would not worry at all about having a Coke now and then. It's not poison, it's just not *good* for you. But it's okay to have some stuff that isn't good for you.[/quote]
