There are many reasons why you should cut down on those soft drinks when you’re pregnant. Firstly, soft drinks contain caffeine. Additionally, drinking soda is really bad for your teeth.
During pregnancy, your teeth are more vulnerable to tooth decay because of hormonal changes and increased acidity in the mouth, especially if you experience vomiting or heartburn. In short, no sugary sodas. Don't want gestational diabetes, do we?
If you thought diet soda solves the problem, nothing could be further from the truth. Studies have found that those consuming artificially sweetened diet soft drinks gave birth prematurely more often.
