Q: Fizzy cool drinks???

Hi Ladies, I have somehow become so drawn to fizzy cool drinks...it's been said that it's bad during pregnancy...but no one has ever told me what are the dangers...I feel guilty every time I drink but so much pleasure when I'm done.

Do you know the dangers of fizzy drinks during pregnancy?
Where you the "culprit" of drinking this during pregnancy?

Its the sugars that is in all fizzy drinks including the hidden natural sugars in sugar frees that health professionals want you to avoid.
The sugars are empty calories, useless to you or baby so will turn into unhealthy weight gain.
Also some fizzy drinks, not just cola, contain caffeine and other stimulants that can increase babies heart rate.

You might find that the sugars are combating your hormones giving you a sugar high and that's why you are particularly craving them. You need the sugar fix a bit like a drug.
You may want to think about finding a substitute for your sugar fix although you may find it hard giving up that high.
Stay well sweetie x x x
