I LOVED my diet coke and drank it like water, but have replaced it with Diet Rite Zero and water for the duration. Mainly because if something happened I'd always wonder, so better to have the peace of mind.

I too LOVE Caffine! Being that I wake up for work at 4:20 every morning it's been hard to completely cut caffine out of my life. I have limited it to 1 or 2 sodas and maybe 1 cup of coffee. I have completely eliminated Starbucks and 5 hour energy drinks and I think I'm good with this at this time!
I will probably still have my pop, but may switch it to a diet rootbeer or diet sprite to eliminate the caffeine. Chocolate...that's not going anywhere! Ha! :) But I currently don't eat chocolate on a regular basis, so should be fine. Coffee, I'm not a big coffee drinker, so shouldn't have any trouble not having any.
<With my first I never drank much caffeinated pop and ended up with GD and still had a normal pregnancy. With my second I drank lots of it and had my 8+lb baby at 37weeks. With me third I drank my normal amount of diet mtn dew in addition to a daily cup of Cappucino and I had my 8 1/2lb baby at 39 weeks.
