Hi. I’m 17dpo. Getting positive tests since few days & since day before getting really strong lines.

yesterday went to Pizza Hut to celebrate a few things. I stupidly drank a few sips of Pepsi max from my husbands glass. May be totalling to half a glass or less.

woke up in middle of night with weird stretching sensations in stomach. And read about not drinking diet sodas at all in pregnancy.

im now worried that I have destroyed everything.

did anyone drink diet soda in early pregnancy & went on to have safe pregnancy?

Step away from the crank literature. I was told I’d miscarried just before Christmas - so I celebrated Christmas as usual - there was plenty of alcohol involved.

10 days later I went for a scan as I still had bleeding to see if I needed surgery only to discover a 12 week foetus camped out in my uterus (so I was also 4 weeks more pregnant than the date of my last period had indicated)

I just dropped the perfectlg healthy, hormonally stroppy 12 year old off at school this morning.

The stretching sensation is totally normal and not related to the Pepsi, it's just the uterus changing - will stop soon.
