[jiajiavon]

Hi,

I am new to this forums, I am 3 mths pregnant. I am always crave to drink cold water such as can cool drink (ice lemon tea/ green tea) and eat ice cream.

IS it OK for me to continue drinking that?

Please advice

I take cold drinks almost of a daily basis, but in moderate amount la. Our body temperature is higher than usual, so it's normal to always crave for cold stuff. Moderation is the word...:001_302:

I think should be ok, but if you are those superstitious type, then you might want to stop drinking cold stuff, cos' my MIL told me drinking too much cold stuff will cause your bb to be phlegmy.....

For me, I also took cold stuff during my pregnancy days.....but not everyday, take in moderation, cos' cold drinks like Ice Tea/Green Tea is sweet, you don't want a big baby

i took cold drinks everyday in my pregnancy. Worse, i had craving for bubble tea so I took all the time even the day b4 i gave birth!

My baby 2.9kg at full term (consider size just right).. now 1mth+ still haven see any sign of "phlegm"... choy la but I think alot of this is just "hearsay"..

I also craving to drink cold drink, but i find that everytime i drink cold drink, after awhile i feel out of breath? I'm 2months now. So i try to avoid drinking cold drink. When i have my #1, i won't feel this way but this #2 diff le?

I think it's ok as long as you are also eating fruits and vegetables.

i took cold drinks everyday as well when pregnant... cant even take 1 sip of hot stuff...
go ahead and do it... ignore what MIL say about bb's health... they have no medical knowledge... ask the gynae and paedi and they will tell u there's no truth in that saying...

Dont worry too much, can drink if you crave for it. For me, I prefer my green tea hot.

Hi I went for my antenantal class recently, the dietcian said that tea is not good for expecting mothers as they also have caffine in them. Thus I dun drink tea anymore. I take cold water (from the fridge) and drink. Hope this will helps

 

[jiajiavon]

JTS: as green tea, ice tea all contain caffiene, best to drink more milk n eat more calcium food as caffiene hinders the absorption of calcium into the body.
for me, though i drink quite a bit of tea n coke, but i take in one carton of milk daily.
