Okay so first of all, I've been staying with my in laws since getting pregnant (HUGE mistake; would never recommend to anyone) and this morning I made breakfast for my SO and I. He said he didn't want tea or coffee or even juice so he said let's drink a coke together. Bear in mind I've never had a coke since probably before I got pregnant. Anyway, we sat down to eat and here come my MIL, "Why are you drinking coke? Don't you know that's bad for your baby? Your blood pressure can raise and you can have complications. I know you must be drinking a lot of soda when you're not around us." Also bear in mind, me, being FULLY AWARE I'm pregnant, chose to only drink natural juices and tea with my meals. So the one time I chose to have a coke with my meal, my oh-so-experienced MIL ruined my appetite. My entire meal was thrown out. And the thing is I've asked my doctor about this. About coke and coffee. He told me a cup a day is harmless. I'm not a fan of coffee so it was for coke to me. But anyway, now I'm hungry. Lol!
