Craving

Anyone feels like they are surviving on Diet Coke? I’m currently 15 weeks and I feel nauseous, and the only thing that helps is Diet Coke, but at the same time, I feel really guilty for drinking it. Please tell me anyone drinks it too so I feel better 😭😭😭😭

For me it’s the full fat coke, lemonade, sparkling flavoured water. Since getting pregnant all I can drink are sparkling drinks lol

I crave full fat coke. It can't be diet, sugar free or pepsi, just not worth it. I limit myself by only allowing it when we are out for dinner or having a takeaway but I have at least a couple cans a week 🙈

Just before I got pregnant it was honestly harder giving up Diet Coke than smoking! I got a soda stream in the end and just used lemon/cucumber/fruit. It’s not the same but it does take the edge off the Diet Coke craving. If you do decide to stop you might get withdrawal symptoms too - the caffeine and aspartame in it both give me headaches when I stop either of them 😵‍💫

So glad other people have commented but for me it’s full fat coke. It’s the only thing that calms my all day nausea!!

Yes Coke Zero and sweets stuff 🫣 I’ve had to ask my husband to stop bringing it into the house to help me stop eating it.

I actually ended up going off Coke this pregnancy, absolutely obsessed with a Pepsi max though which was my craving last pregnancy too x
