I used to be a BIG pop drinker years back, but have slowly cut them out over the years. I also don't like to consume too many artificial sweeteners as they are certainly not good for you and even the no added sugar squash contains them.
I drink mostly water now, sometimes when out or whatever I will occasionally have a glass of diet coke or similar but notice I always end up bloated and constipated afterwards.
In the early days of this pregnancy I got cravings for full sugar coca cola, so had to have some of that and then went off water for a bit, as I found it made the sickness worse, so had to drink fresh juice. But I am back to drinking just water now.
If I fancy something other than water, I have carbonated water with lots of ice and fresh lemon and orange slices in it, gives it a very light flavour. But I find even the carbonated water can make me bloated and uncomfortable.
