I think if all you're doing is drinking one, it's no big deal, but if it's a daily habit, that's not good. Though I'm more concerned about the artificial sweeteners than the caffeine, honestly. That's just me though.
diet coke during pregnancy
I love diet coke. I have had one can of caffeine free diet coke during my entire pregnancy and that's it.
But tonight.. I reallly want some! The kind I have isn't caffeiene free. Its just regular. I know diet soda in general or soda at all isnt good for us, but I also know that in moderation or every once in a while isn't a big deal.
I guess I'm looking for someone to tell me it's okay?

This would probably be it until he was born. What do you think?

I was just having this same problem today, but with regular Pepsi. I caved in and had about half a can. Since not having it for quite some time, it really tasted weird and not very pleasant to me. So much for cravings.

I don't think one will hurt. I get huuuuuge cravings for coke...and not diet, but I can't drink it, because A. I have a kidney stone and even one soda aggravates it terribly

and B. Anything with carbonation gives me the most wretched acid reflux right now.

So, enjoy that coke on me, please.

exactly - I avoid fake sugars like the plague when pregnant or not. There are studies in Europe that link them to health problems (hasn't been studied in preg I don't think), but the US ignores them. Maybe go ahead and switch to normal Coke.
