I'm not sure about Coke (caff or decaff), but I was going to ask the same thing about Lucozade - its the only thing that stops me feeling sick!!

i think you can have 6 cans of coke a day, iv been drinking pepsi and cola. Im not 100% on that though

You can have 4 regular cups of normal coffee a day and thats what I stick to...I heard de caf isnt that good for you

Diet cokes contain alot of aspartame and it isnt recommended you have too much during pregnancy.

on my last pregnancy my midwife went nuts at me with my coke intake lol and said i should quit it all together!

You can still drink normal coke, just dont overdo it...........I still drink 4 cups of "normal" tea a day and probably have 4 cans of diet coke a week, caffeine in moderation is no problem at all!

I was told all diet drinks are off limits when pregnant, so I keep away from them. I also haven't had a cola or anything like it since before the pregnancy. I am so craving a Dr Pepper or a Root Beer at the moment

I agree about the diet drinks, I know sugary drinks are not good but I would rather hve a drink full of sugar than a drink full of synthetic chemical-like sugar, which is exactly what saccharine is. I say a little of what you fancy can't do any harm. Besides, too much fizzy is not good for your teeth, right? I am having loads or cravings for fanta lemon and coke.
