Pepsi max

Guys I can't stop drinking Pepsi max, I am having 1 can a day, do you think this is too much. I am 9 weeks pregnant and have read that you should stay away from certain sweeteners and limit your intake altogether - but - I feel like it says that about everything.

I am also type 1 diabetic so I limit sugar already as is.

I am also a gamer girl lol. And I have read that I shouldn't be gaming.

I don't want to harm the beautiful baby growing inside of me, and I am so grateful for him/her. I also want to have a little release before my freedom is taken lol. It is a shame to give everything up, what's your take on it mamas?

I had awful nausea and had at least one can of Pepsi max per day as it really helped. Baby is currently napping on my chest and it doesn’t seem to have done her any harm! I’m curious about the gaming though? Not that I game, just because I’m nosey!
Hey

Hey

Sorry, please ignore my other post haha I don't know what happened but I sent without finishing!

I'm a gamer girl! Or, I will have been, as I know I won't have much time for this once the little one comes! It's my long term hobbie and it's how I bond with my partner, we are always gaming together, PC adventure games, PlayStation shooter games, nerdy board games, Mario and Zelda. Yup that's us :)

I have been drinking Pepsi max every day too. Not something I ever had before I was pregnant. My local tesco now has caffeine free Pepsi max which I like to think they got in just for me as they were concerned how much of it I was drinking Grin
Haha I recently found this in Tesco too!! I also thought, oh my gosh this couldn't have come at a better time!

@Bathmatt

Correct me if I’m wrong but I get the impression with gaming you are sitting down a lot? If so, just make sure you move regularly ie at least every hour but ideally get up every 20 mins even just for a short walk to the kitchen and back!
Thank you! Yes your are right!
