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?

I was as confused as you when I first looked into, honestly have a Google, its rather facinating how it all works. (I'm a nerd i love to read)
Its more to do with how the hormones mess with your insulin it can stop it from doing is job. The only way to keep a on check this is by checking your sugar levels so if they are high it could indicate your insulin isn't breaking down the sugar.
Indulging DOES cause your blood sugar to rocket but most peoples bodies break this down unless your hormones get in the way and high risk cases need to be monitored for this and to be extra careful because if you did indulge and your insulin was compromised then i can only imagine bad things happen.
I've not been an angel at avoiding the sweets because the cravings are silly but i don't have GD. I know it's not good for me even if it's not the root cause of it.
