I work at starbucks,am 15 weeks pregnate, and i really have little options on what to drink there besides some teas and water (i don't believe in decaf! jk), so I drink vitamin water we sell there. The one I drink most is the lemonade flavored one.
But it seems that everytime I drink it, I have to go to the bathroom very fast! Sometimes I'm scared that I wont make it. Not only do I have to rush to the bathroom, which is a hassle cause its usually always taken, or i gotta fiddle with a key to open the door.. it burns! It feels like a UTI infection!
My question is, are lemon juice or citrusy things bad for you while you're pregnate? Or does it just depend on each person?
I seem fine everytime I dont drink it.. =(

i had said it was vitamin water. its not JUST lemonade. if you're familiar with witamin water.. its water with a flavor to it. No I dont drink it all the time, i drink it along with other things like tea, etc.

The only way lemonade would really hurt the baby is if that is ALL you drink all day everyday. As long as your balancing it out with water and staying hydated, your fine. You should check with your doctor about the burning.

Well, when you are pregnANT, you usually do have to use the restroom more frequently.
I don't think too much lemonade will hurt you or the baby. It's just going through your body like water.
If it's burning, though, it does sound like an infection. Call your doctor and let him or her know - they can prescribe you an antibiotic to get rid of the infection.

No, it's not bad for you. But water is best. Also, if you are getting burning pee it's probably the lemon or tell the doctor because UTI's are very common in pregnancy. So you might just have a UTI.

I don't know, I think it's just you....My favorite drink is Diet Coke mixed with Lemonade. i drink it almost everyday and I've never experienced anything like that! Maybe you do have a UTI and the lemonade is irritating it. You should talk to your doctor. If you do have a UTI you need to get it taken care of! Good luck!

Have you heard of WATER?
Do not drink vitamin water unless you read the label carefully.
Some things can be harmfull.
Artificial sweetners are not a good thing.
Just drink water with a twist of lemon should be ok.
Later in your pregnancy you will get heart burn.

Ok, first get this straight --- I am only 14 and don't know much about pregnancy at all! I do know, however, that anything with citrus has acid and acid can take a layer off of the lining of your stomach. I don't know how that would effect the baby, but it can't effect it in a good way. So I would suggest not drinking it, especially if it feels like it's hurting you!
Merry Christmas!

Maybe you could drink milk instead?
Lemonade can be very sweet, and can give you the worst heartburn. It is so sweet that it may cause diarrea. With the burning, maybe it is an UTI. Maybe all the acid is bothering you.
I would switch to milk. Good luck.

You have to urinate because of the fluid. It wouldn't matter if it were tea or another type of drink.
The problem with the citrus drinks is the acid. It could make you have indigestion (aka heart burn).
Herbal teas would probably be better or learn to drink de-caf.
