It is probably not that bad, after all, there are no warnings on the label. I wouldn´t do it though. Diet things give me the creeps because I wonder what they used to reduce the number of calories in it. They are probably using fake sugar. While this has been approved by the fda, it doesn´t rule out the possiblity of finding out about hidden side effects sometime down the road. Hidden side effects aside, if you are pregnant, everything you eat affects your baby. I would want to give my baby the healthiest diet possible by not ingesting a lot of sugar or unnatural products.

∙ 15y agoWell this depends upon just how health conscious you want to be during your pregnancy. First of all, it is not the amount of carbohydrates or calories in soda that makes it dangerous while pregnant. The caffeine in drinks is what is dangerous. Because caffeine constricts your blood vessels it restricts the blood flow to the placenta which in turn decreases the blood flow to your baby. This can result in a miscarriage. But just because it can doesn't mean that if you drank one Pepsi while pregnant, you are at a high risk for miscarrying. Now, about the Diet part. Many people debate about Diet Soda whether you are pregnant or not because of the Aspartame that is in all artificially sweetened and diet beverages. Many people believe that aspartame leads to the development of cancer and alzheimers. The other sweetener, sacchurin, has been known to cause birth defects. I would recommend drinking a soda that is sweetened with actual cane sugar such as Jones Soda (which can be found in bottles) to ensure an all natural form of sugar. Most of flavors do not contain caffeine so be sure to grab the one that doesn't. Also most clear Sodas such as Sprite are caffeine free as well. I know it is difficult during your time of pregnancy to be concerned with your weight gain, but it is better to drink a soda sweetened with natural sugar and it be safe for your baby (and actually safer for you) than to be worried about your weight gain during pregnancy.

Is it bad to drink diet soda?
The word diet means a particular selection in terms of qualities to regulate the composition and effect to ones health. In terms of soda, it would only suggest that the alternative to a regular soda has cut portions or a substituted ingredients. Diet sodas are not actually diet as consumers may presume. You can gain weight on diet sodas just as you can with regular sodas. A person who wants to be on a diet avoids sodas all together.
