Is there anyone else who noticed that now that you are pregnant, some soda makes ya sick?

Yes, Mountain Dew is my favorite drink and I cannot have it at all since I have been pregnant. It makes me feel gross... and it tastes weird.
The only soda I can stomach is Pepsi, which I hated before I got pregnant.
And to everyone who is unaware... yes you can have soda when you are pregnant. You are not supposed to consume more than 300 mg of caffeine per day, so it should be limited. The average soda contains 40-59 mg of caffeine per can

The citric acid in soda made me horribly sick during my first trimester. All the pregnancy books said "drink 7 up to help with morning sickness." Oh, no, that just didn't work for me. I'm not sure whether it was just the increase in heart burn, or whether my body was just rebelling against me to be spiteful. Either way, I was miserable.
This isn't the last aversion you'll experience, believe me. And some of them will be WEIRD. Make sure you record everything for the baby book. It's fun to go back and read through later.

It is the caffiene in soda that makes you "sick". Caffeine is a natural diuretic, which makes you lose normal fluid balance and eventually become dehydrated. Limit caffeine to 2 servings per day and try to drink 8-10 glasses of water to keep fully hydrated.

Funny - that was the first turn off I had when I got pregnant. I am now 28 weeks and I have started drinking them a little, and don't get sick anymore.

Not only that it's not good for the baby it can make him gain too much weigh and be prone for diabetes.
