Anyone else Diet Coke drinkers? For some it’s alcohol, or drugs, or coffee or smoking but my weakness is freakin Diet Coke!

We tried for months to conceive my daughter after a miscarriage so I was trying to take good care of myself and one of those ways was that I cut out Diet Coke! It took some time but I stopped drinking it all together a few months before conceiving my daughter and a high majority of my pregnancy, up to the last couple weeks. Even after I had her, I tried to keep it to a bare minimum since I was breastfeeding. It wasn’t that hard! But this time, my pregnancy was unexpected so I didn’t “prepare.”

Anyways, I stopped when I found out I was pregnant again but then I started getting terrible headaches. I don’t know if it was from caffeine withdrawal or pregnancy- probably a combination of both. But caffeine helped when Tylenol wouldn’t touch it! I don’t drink coffee or any other kind of pop but I have a glass of Diet Coke with lunch or dinner. I drink lots of water as well but I feel guilty drinking Diet Coke.

I know Diet Coke is terrible for you whether you’re pregnant or not, in all reality. Do you think I’m harming baby at all? I know I should quit but it’s harder than I thought...it’s weird! Anyone else dealing with this? If so, what are you doing to cut back if you are trying!
