Can i drink soda? If not why?

It's OK to drink a little soda if you MUST. The caffeine is not good for the baby, so only drink soda without it. The reason to stay away from soda is because it has lots of phosphorus in it. Drinking soda can upset the calcium /phosphorus ratio in your body. Too much phosphorus can lead to weak bones for you, and bone development problems for your baby. If osteoporosis runs in your family, it's best to stay away from soda all the time.
