Is diet pop really a ttc disaster?!
| Mon, 09-22-2003 - 11:17am |
With #1 I got pg IMMEDIATELY! I was a mountain dew addtict, drinking 2 cans a day on average. This summer, I switched to diet pop to try and lose some weight before pg. I lost 15 pounds and I attribute most of the loss to the calories saved from pop.
This is my third cycle ttc #1. I know it is still early, but I am one of those obsessing types, wondering what I should do differently to help conceive. I CAN'T give up the caffeine. I work in a school, need to be up too early in the am and need to be fully energized for the kids. Should I risk the pounds and return to regular pop while ttc? Would it be important just around implantation, or all the time? What have you heard? Any successful babies of diet pop drinkers? Your feedback is appreciated!

When I was pg with my daughter, the obstetrician (a woman and mother of 3) said she drank Diet Coke the whole time she was pg with all three kids. She was an addict, too!
I've cut back to 2 or less diet sodas per day while ttc and when I was pg I couldn't stand the taste of sodas too much.
Good luck to you!!!!!
