Tricks for unhealthy cravings?

Question

I'm normally a coffee addict and I've stopped drinking it all day. I only have my one cup in the morning and that's it. And coffee's not even the problem: I'm craving fountain Mountain Dew! Specifically fountain pop, not bottled! It's constant and driving me insane! I haven't drank pop in years, and suddenly I feel like I'm going to die if I don't have it!! Any tricks to curb the craving?? I'm only about 7 weeks so I'm trying to be super careful.

Update: my husband pointed out that he has Mountain Dew flavored vape. They're nicotine-free, but are they safe during pregnancy?

Answer

I get sparkling water and add it to juice! It really helps kick the craving for soda!

Answer

Get club soda or some for of fizzy water and add juice to it or you can buy those flavored syrups and find a kind u like :) just make sure the syrups are a good one not one that's has bad ingredients

Answer

Vaping has a lot of added chemicals. Some of the doctors I work with claim it's equally as damaging to your throat and airway as cigarettes. Idk. I'm not a scientist lol

Answer

Sounds like you're from up north! haha, I grew up hearing that when I lived in Pennsylvania. But I got that craving really bad in the beginning of my pregnancy, but I also literally drank soda everyday. So I would go through caffeine withdrawals and get really bad headaches. And I weaned myself off and don't really even crave it anymore. I get it if I go out to eat but otherwise I drink water or Gatorade. I've been told a soda a day is okay, it won't hurt your body/baby

Answer

Fizzy soda? Get more rest? The chemicals are to blame for your craving. It will pass. Take b12 and b6!
