Sprite and Pregnancy
Posted: 01-04-08 10:27am

Is it okay to drink sprite? I can drink a 2 liter sprite in 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I love it and it is the only think that seems to satisfy my thirst. Confused Confused Confused

Caffeine or not, soda in general isnt too great for you nor your pregnant body... I would prefer you asking your personal doctor his/her opinion on you as a person drinking it... and if you are drinking it please moderate your intake thats alot of soda

here's a tip, drink A LOT of water, then a sip of sprite, you'll think you just drank all that sprite but your body will love you more because of the water! That's what I do and it always seems to work.

Thats a good idea Lilly. I was going to suggest the same thing. I drink soo much water every day, I love it. I usually put a crystal lite to go pack in my water for lunch or dinner. I very rarely drink soda.

i would ask your doctor
drinking in moderation is what they suggest. too much of anything is never a good thing

I drink an extremely large amount of water too! I just want sprite all the time. My mouth is constantly dry! I also drink juice and milk. I drink and drink and drink until my stomach looks like I'm about 5 months pregnant. Then, i spend the whole night using the bathroom. I can't help my self though. All i want to do is drink.

it may be caffeine free but it's still loaded with sugar. try to make it your treat, drink 3 glasses of water and you can have some sprite.
