    I ate something nasty last night and I'm so sick to my stomach. Running to the restroom several times and once I got sick. Of course, I haven't ate and I've only been able to tolerate soda. Water makes me want to vomit. I drank a couple cans of caffeine free coke, two cups of half caffeine coffee, and maybe 8oz of regular coke. I'm feeling better and plan to have soup & crackers for dinner. I will try to drink as much cold water as I can but not sure how much. How I'm feeling now I know I'll be better in the morning and can go back to drinking water and milk. Is one bad say going to hurt anything? I felt the boys moving this morning and just felt a little movement a sec ago. I'm going tomorrow for my 20 week anatomy scan and AFI/cervical check. I'll feel better seeing them tomorrow.

    The decaf coke doesn't deplete you nor does the coffee. I'm sure there were many days with your other pregnancies where you weren't able to drink like you should. We've all been there. :)

    Have you thought of lemonade through a straw? It helped me with nausea the last time I was pregnant.

    Enjoy the scan tomorrow!

    Thank you! I didn't think the coffee or decaf depleted me. I have a hard time drinking lemonade. It's too acidy which makes no sense because I love coke. I'm going to get some decaf tea.

    I make my own which doesn't bother me. I don't like the taste of lemonade mixes for the same reason.

    My doc said drink what I can in those situations. Your better off with decalf coke than no fluid. I would get the carbonated flavored water when I wasw sick as the carbonation did help my stomach and I'de drink a small regular coke when I was really ill as it settled my stomach.
