Wordless Wednesday: What I've been living on...
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 Posted by Felicia
First of all, you must know that I am an AVID water drinker (or was). This pregnancy is making me weird! I still drink water, but only because I HAVE to and it makes me sick. What I really want is to drink root beer all day. You think my baby will be ok? lol!

Mmmm, that sounds yummy!
February 24, 2010 12:12 AM
LOL! I didn't drink any soda when I was pregnant, but I could eat 3 custard filled donuts in one sitting!
February 24, 2010 12:15 AM
That's so funny. I was the same way - water made me gag, but I totally got into root beer when I was pregnant with my son. Most is caffeine free so I didn't feel guilty, and it tasted delish!
February 24, 2010 12:17 AM
I'm sure it'll be okay! lol. With my first, all I wanted was orange soda-all the time!
February 24, 2010 12:18 AM
I don't drink that and can't see why anyone likes it. To me it tastes like toothpaste. lol
However dh loves it!
Here is the thing. With my first child. I loved water!
With the second. I had to FORCE myself to drink water! It was so weird.
So yes, force yourself to drink it :)
February 24, 2010 12:23 AM
haha! could be worst right! Are you doing root beer floats too? yummy!
February 24, 2010 1:16 AM
My mom drank a ton of root beer while she was pregnant with me! As far as I know...the only side effect is that I HATE root beer!
February 24, 2010 1:21 AM
I think you'll be fine and baby too.
February 24, 2010 3:26 AM
I think you're good ;-)
February 24, 2010 3:39 AM
Well then if it's a boy you're gonna have to name him Barq and if it's a girl, Sassafras!

Girl, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I always crave soda when I pregnant and this time is no exception. I've been trying to be better because I know that's what attributed to my crazy weight gain with both girls. I drank gallons of Sprite with them. This time, I've been doing better with the occasional Izze soda, but I've been drinking lots of seltzer h2o/club soda because I crave the carbonation.
Hope you're feeling well! :-)

You and baby will be just fine! So weird what pregnancies do.
February 24, 2010 7:49 AM
Hey at least you chose something that is caffeine free! I craved root beer when I was pregnant with my first. With this baby I want coke, which is not good since it has caffeine, but seems to be helping my morning sickness...go figure! My doc (with a previous pregnancy) actually recommended coke when my stomach was upset.
February 24, 2010 7:54 AM
That does look pretty good right now..

That's too funny! Nope, won't hurt your baby - might make him/her not like root beer, though! :) When I was pregnant with Princess Nagger, I craved peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly)... PN doesn't like peanut butter sandwiches - only likes jelly ones! :)
February 24, 2010 8:17 AM
I was very similiar!! We don't even have soda/carbonated drinks in the house (Unless there is a stomach virus)!!
But when preggo this time I was drinking Sprite constantly! It really was the only thing that "tamed" the nauseau for me. So I'd drink some as I thought about eating and then by the time the meal was prepared I could usually handle eating!
I was VERY fortunate that it was the vitamin I was taking... a little change up and I was good to go:)
So excited you are preggo:) I love seeing families grow:)

Water always grossed me out when I was pregnant, too. I could never relate to the pregnant women who drank gallons of it. I think the important thing is just to keep drinking fluids. Check out your root beer. Some root beers have caffeine, which you should avoid.
February 24, 2010 8:43 AM
You can't deny yourself when you're having cravings. You're drinking lots of water too so I say go for it!
February 24, 2010 9:05 AM
LOL, I had the same aversion to water when I was pregnant. I added a little amount of country time lemonade mix each time. It made it taste better, but it was really watered down so I wasn't drinking too much sugar.
February 24, 2010 9:07 AM
That's funny because that's all I wanted to drink when I was pregnant with Isaak. I'm a water drinker too. At least this soda doesn't have loads of caffeine in it.
February 24, 2010 9:13 AM
First LOL you had me wondering til I scrolled down!
Happy WW!
February 24, 2010 9:28 AM
This sounds so familiar! I did ginger ale for weeks 6-8, and then one day I wanted to vomit when I thought of ginger ale, and it was root beer or bust from that point forward! Ha!
February 24, 2010 9:32 AM
Oh- now I want some too! I only drink sprite, but there are times when I really... really crave it too.
February 24, 2010 9:49 AM
I hope that the water making you sick part passes -- but I don't think a little root beer ever hurt anyone. :) Throw in a little ice cream and you got a party! Happy WW!
February 24, 2010 10:06 AM
Well if you are going to get cravings, Root beer is a good thing.
February 24, 2010 10:35 AM
Sounds like a great craving! Happy Ww :)
February 24, 2010 10:36 AM
LOL! YUM! The baby will be fine-and happy! :)
February 24, 2010 11:00 AM
The baby will be fine. When I was pregnant with the twins water grossed me out.
February 24, 2010 11:12 AM
I totally wanted rootbeer with my first daughter. She's perfectly fine! Enjoy it. (I just made sure it was A&W because it doesn't have caffeine).
February 24, 2010 11:14 AM
LOL! I'm sure baby will be okay!
February 24, 2010 11:51 AM
At least most root beers don't have caffeine! Drink it up girl! I am curious to see if the little one will love or hate root beer when he/she is older.
February 24, 2010 12:04 PM
There is no caffeine in Root Beer so you and your baby will be just fine. I wouldn't worry about it so much. If you are craving it then there might be something in Root Beer that your body needs. I'd worry if you started craving dirt or cigarette butts. Some women have very strange cravings.
February 24, 2010 12:33 PM
When I was pregnant with our daughter I was the same way...always wanted root beer and couldn't stand water (but drank it because I knew I should). :) With our son....I couldn't get enough water and hardly ever craved pop. Weird what pregnancy does.
February 24, 2010 12:57 PM
I love rootbeer! I haven't had it for so long.
February 24, 2010 1:06 PM
mmmm! Yum. Gotta add some vanilla ice cream to that root beer!
February 24, 2010 3:00 PM
Love A&W!!! Delicious! Baby will be fine drink away
February 24, 2010 4:13 PM
I agree with everyone, I think you and baby should be fine... "she" may get the hiccups though, which might be uncomfortable for you. :-)
February 24, 2010 5:45 PM
You know what I drank when I was pregnant? Mountain Dew and Pepsi. How bad is that? I was so sick the whole time, and the bubbles felt good in my throat. My daughter turned out fine, but I would try to avoid that if there's a next time.
Listen to your body. :)
February 24, 2010 7:21 PM
As long as its decafe! Should be no problem!
February 24, 2010 8:01 PM
ROFL! I can SO relate, although for me nothing sounds very good to drink, even root beer. =)
February 24, 2010 8:37 PM
I can totally relate - I wanted Coca Cola all the time!! It was so frustrating that they do not have caffeine free out at restaurants.
