He's right, drink filtered water or better. It's too acidic and it has junk carbs; eat berries/fruit if you need something tangy and sweet.
One exception: if you find powerade growing in the wild, then it's okay to have one every now and then.

Could be because of the sugar/calories. I am 30 wks and drink powerade too but I try to stick to the Powerade Option type that has very little calories and only like 2 grams of sugars per serving.

Considering the high corn syrup and sugar content of the drink, I'd have to agree with your husband, at least in the quantities you claim to drink it in. We all know that sugar in high quantities is bad for you, and that same amount of sugar while pregnant is even worse. You'd be better to drink slightly flavored water. You can find that sort of stuff in most grocery stores and the sugar content is nowhere NEAR as high as in Powerade. You could also try buying bottled water and your choice of fresh fruit, and placing your choice of the fruit in the water. It will have a subtle flavor, with less sugar content. Healthier for you AND baby.

I've never heard of that either. I drank it like crazy through my entire pregnancy also. That and water was all I ever drank and still do. I do know that gatorade is better and less sugar than powerade. You should be fine.

It's high in sugar, I would stick to water or crystal light. Near the end you want to make sure you drink lots of water there are tons of reasons most important its the best for you and your baby.

its high in sugar, not bad for you but fattening. Try limiting to 16 oz a day, and have water or propel.
