Orange Lucazade
http://www.lucozade.com/energy/flavours/index.html
After reading the ingredients there is a lot of sugar as well as salt (sodium) in the drink... While drinking a little won't hurt you drinking alot might lead to things like gestational diabetes, etc... Talk to your Dr. and explain exactly how much you are drinking and the cravings which are leading you to want more and more... He/she can help you decide if it's just a passing phase, a lack of something in your diet, or a sign of a more serious problem...
As a source of nutrition it is poor containing mostly sugar...

it is very common to get cravings or build up a addiction during pregnancy. i think orange lucazade is safe to have as long as you do drink something else - try limiting your self to a set amount a day of lucazade and eat a balanced diet, dont drink orange lucazade instead of eating - this isnt safe for you or your baby.
congratulations on being pregnant all the best

i had a craving for orange, and when my son was born he goes hypo on e104 and e110, these are the main colours of orange, they are called sunset yellow and quinoline yellow, it took a Long time to work out what it was and the only explanation was my craving, i don't know whether lucazade is safe, but be careful because of the sugar, maybe try and sip now and again, i know a craving is hard, maybe try and freeze it so a cube take longer to suck then it would to drink, good luck x

You should not be drinking lucazade as it is an energy drink which contains caffiene and high caffiene intake can effect your babies developement you should have been told this by your midwife

Please be careful. Everything you put into your body now will set your baby up for life. All that sugar and dye is going through your baby's body, he/she has already developed a sweet tooth, setting him/her up for diabeties in the future, prone to weight gain, bad skin, bad temper, hyperactive etc. You should only be eating good, natural, fresh food and drink. Lots of salad, fruit, veg and water, decaf coffee and tea, not sugary drinks and other junk.

Don't drink too much of it. Keep it to a glass or two a day. And try to substitute fresh orange juice, it will be much better for you. Less sugar, more natural juice

I didn't crave orange lucozade but i did crave vimto. i drank gallons of the stuff. i ended up giving birth to a whopper of a baby(11lb 3oz). i don't know if that is connected but they did think diabetes.
