Drinking Soda During Pregnancy - Is It Safe?
Alcohol may not be an option for pregnant women as it can harm their baby during pregnancy, but a lot of moms-to-be drink soft beverages like soda, soft drinks, mocktails, etc. While drinking these beverages during pregnancy is safe when consumed in moderate amounts, these drinks have their own side-effects. Drinking excessive soda during pregnancy can have some adverse effects on you and your baby.
Can You Consume Soda During Pregnancy?
Drinking fresh lime soda during pregnancy is good if you're not going overboard. An occasional soda is not likely to harm you in any way.
How Much Soda Can You Drink While Pregnant?
During pregnancy, it is safe to drink one or less than one serving (1 serving= 330 ml) of soda or diet soda per day.
Whether you consume soda containing sugar or artificial sweeteners, the caffeine in soda can be refreshing, but it can be harmful to the foetus. A study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists shows that a pregnant woman should not consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day. One serving of soda has between 32-42 mg of caffeine. Hence, if you limit your daily consumption of soda to one serving per day, you are safe.
Which Contents of Soda Can Harm Your Unborn Baby?
Soda is a brew made from a mix of several ingredients. Here are few of the ingredients in soda that can affect you and your baby:
1. Caffeine
Soda is high in caffeine, which is known to raise one's blood pressure. It can also cause insomnia, which can cause constipation and dehydration in the mother-to-be. This is harmful to the baby's motoric and nervous system development. Consumption of more than 300 mg of caffeine a day may lead to miscarriage, and the consumption of more than 500 mg of caffeine in a day can cause chronic high breathing in a baby at birth.
2. Sugar
Steady insulin levels are essential for the optimal growth of the baby. The sugar present in sodas increases blood sugar levels, which can cause an insulin burst. Consuming large amounts of sugar can also lead to obesity, which can lead to miscarriage or cause health problems like congenital disabilities in the baby.
3. Carbonated Water
Soda is made from the carbonation of high-pressure water and carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is the main ingredient that causes the fizzy bubbles in the drinks. This carbonated water present in the soda is detrimental to your bone health and can cause issues like back pain, as your bones gradually become too weak to support your growing belly. Plain carbonated water contains only gas, but some manufacturers also add in minerals like potassium and sodium. Sodium causes a spike in blood pressure, which can be dangerous for your body.
4. Artificial Sweetener
Plain soda contains large amounts of sugar, whereas diet soda contains artificial sweeteners - they are harmful in their own regard. Aspartame, a non-saccharide artificial sweetener used in diet sodas can cause disabilities in babies if consumed excessively. Drinking diet soda, contrary to popular belief, is as harmful as drinking regular soda during pregnancy.
5. Flavouring Agents
Even if a soda doesn't contain caffeine, it will most likely contain some flavour - phosphoric acid is one of the flavouring agents present in sodas. This phosphoric acid can affect the calcium in your bones and make them brittle.
Harmful Effects of Drinking Soda During Pregnancy
Listed below is the summary of the harmful effects of consuming soda during pregnancy:
Loss of calcium from bones due to the carbonated acid and phosphoric acid (flavouring agent)
Increase in blood pressure due to the presence of sodium in carbonated water
Can cause birth defects such as congenital disabilities
The excessive consumption of sugar and artificial sweeteners may lead to obese babies
May also lead to miscarriage
A 2018 study suggests a negative relationship between consuming sodas during pregnancy and the baby's brain development. The study found that when mothers-to-be consumed more sugar during pregnancy, especially in the form of sodas, their children grew up with poor non-verbal and problem-solving skills along with poor memory. The study also showed that the effects were just as bad with diet sodas - consuming it during pregnancy was linked to poorer visual motor, spatial, and fine motor abilities in babies.
Soda might be a refreshing replacement to alcoholic drinks, but it is not worth the risk when it comes to you or your baby. So, limiting the consumption of soda ensures the healthy growth of the child and also prevents any congenital defects in the child during delivery. Drinking plenty of water during pregnancy is a good idea. Fresh fruit juice and milk are also good choices for both hydration and nutrition.

Labour During Second Pregnancy - How It Differs From the First
Having a baby is a laborious task. It comes with the cutest perks, but the months of gestation also have their fair share of pleasure and pain. If you have, however, delivered your first child, then things may seem like familiar ground the second time around. You may feel like you know what to expect, but that is hardly the case. A majority of mothers felt like time went by much faster during the second pregnancy. But every pregnancy is unique in its own way because the human body is unique.
How Is Labour During the Second Pregnancy Different From the First?
The first and second pregnancy can differ on many counts, and you should not expect exactly the same experience as during your first pregnancy.
1. Baby Movements Can Be Felt
It is sheer bliss when a first-time mother feels her baby’s kick or movement in the second trimester of her pregnancy. It is unusual for a woman to feel baby’s movements before the fifth month during the first pregnancy. But with the second pregnancy, you can discern the movements as early as the 13th week or sometime during the 4th month because you are familiar with what the sensation is like.
2. Baby’s Position Is Lower
The abdomen gets stretched a fair amount when one goes through pregnancy for the first time. It never fully reverts to its taut self as before and so during the second pregnancy, your baby will most likely be lower down in the abdomen that before.
3. False Contractions Are Familiar Ground
Braxton Hicks or practice contractions are common during pregnancy and mostly start by the sixth week of pregnancy. It is a tightening of muscles for about 30-60 seconds and is not obvious until the closure of the third trimester. This is likely attributed to the fact that a first-time mother is already overwhelmed by the number of changes that the body is going through. During the second pregnancy, however, familiarity allows a mother to recognise Braxton-Hicks, and it can be far worse than during the first pregnancy.
4. Labour May Happen Sooner
On average, first-time mothers have been known to go into labour in the 41st week. However, second pregnancy early labour is very common, and mothers go into labour as early as the 40th week. This is because the body is more used to pregnancy and reacts faster to the hormones released around this time.
5. Cervix Is More Dilated
The cervix is better adjusted to labour and is more readily dilated during the second pregnancy. This is one of the reasons that most women do not go through over 8 hours of intensive labour during their second pregnancy. Most women during their first pregnancy are put through eight or more hours of labour. It comes down to about 5 hours for the second one because your cervix is provided a head start now.
6. Labour Is Not Easier Though
None of this makes labour any easier because the body, being used to the exercise, makes the contractions much stronger. Take comfort in knowing that the experience of your first delivery will help you push at the right time, making the process smoother.
7. Crowning Is More Bearable
Crowning is that glorious part where your baby has passed through the entire birth canal and emerges head-first. It is made a tad bit easier in certain body positions. Obviously, the ‘head-down’ position is optimum with baby’s body facing the mother’s back. As the first pregnancy has stretched the uterine walls and the muscular tone isn’t that tight, the stress of crowning is reduced by and large.
8. There Is Heightened Awareness of Labour Commencing
The experience of a previous delivery will help the mother understand when to get to the hospital. Knowing the difference between Braxton-Hicks and real labour too is an advantage here. You will be better prepared for delivery and will certainly not rush to the hospital too late or even too early.
9. Muscles Are Looser Leading to Less Pushing
As mentioned before, the first delivery stretches your muscles to a large extent. This makes the uterine muscles, the cervix, and the abdominal muscles are all much more relaxed, and the baby has more room to make its way out. This means that the pushing becomes much lesser during the second delivery.
10. Postpartum Pains Could Be Worse
The afterpains or postpartum contractions that bring back the uterus to shape could end up being more painful as the muscle tone is lesser and uterine walls have lost a lot of their strength and elasticity.
What Are the Signs of Labour During the Second Pregnancy?
The body’s and the mind's memory of the previous delivery is very helpful during the second pregnancy. Some signs of labour that you might be familiar with are:
The belly will drop, and your breathing will become easier. The heartburn and acidity will ease up too.
The mucus plug is lost just before cervical dilation and is one of the surest signs that you are about to go into labour.
The discharge from the vagina becomes more liquid in nature and also more plentiful.
Weight loss before term is an early sign of labour because the fluids in the body coagulate to prevent excessive blood loss during delivery.
The baby becomes less active a few days before labour commences because they are getting into position and preparing for the delivery too.
Contractions become rhythmical and are regular, unlike the Braxton Hicks contractions.
Pain increases with each contraction, unlike the practice contractions.
The water breaking is a sign in second pregnancy labour to go to hospital.
How Can You Prevent Episiotomy While Giving Birth for the Second Time?
If you have had an episiotomy during your first delivery, you can try the following to avoid it during the second pregnancy:
Have perineal muscle massage in the final month leading up to the delivery.
Try sitting upright while pushing so that gravity assists during the delivery so that you can avoid the perineal tear.
Additional Tips to Consider
It is said, "Being well-prepared means half the battle won". Although nothing can ensure that things go as per plan, you should be prepared, nevertheless. Here are a few things that you can do:
Be in regular contact with your doctor.
Have your bags prepared at the first signs of labour.
Make sure that you and your partner have spoken about the administering of drugs like epidurals, etc.
Be sure to relax and anticipate changes to your plan.
If things go differently than what you expected, embrace it and look forward to delivering a healthy baby in a safe manner.
While there are multiple differences between the first and second pregnancy, there are many similarities too. Many ladies have repeated nausea, swelling, pains and aches, and fatigue. Some are also worried that if they have had a caesarean during the birth of their first child, they cannot have a vaginal birth. This is not true, and a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) is possible too when the pregnancy is normal and without any complications. So put your feet up, relax and watch for those early signs of labour. Soon you will be on your way to having a healthy and beautiful baby.

जिंदगी एक परिभाषा या अनमोल सीख: आगे बढ़ने की शुरुआत पर एक माँ द्वारा अपने पुत्र को दी गई सीख
1. जिंदगी एक परिभाषा या अनमोल सीख - (हिन्दी कविता)
जिंदगी एक सफर है सुहाना
जीवन के कुछ पल खुशियों के हवाले
जीवन के कुछ लम्हे गम के प्याले
माना ख़ुशियों ओर गमों का कभी आना है
कभी जाना है कभी हंसना है और हंसाना है ।
पर ये पल संजोते हैं हर पल खुशियों को
हमारे दामन में जो कभी प्यारी सी
याद बनकर कभी प्यारी सी
उम्मीद बनकर खिलती है औऱ
कभी हमारी चिलमन में परिवर्तन सी
जिंदगी हर मोड़ पर नये रंग दिखाती है ।
कहीं अनजानों से मिलवाती है ,
अपनों सेबिछुड़ाती है
कभी हंसती और मुस्कुराती है और
कभी अपने आंसुओ से फूलों को खिलाती है ।
जिंदगी एक तलाश है
शायद कोई गहरा इतिहास या
कोई अधुरी कहानी है पर
इसकी अजब गजब सी जिंदगानी है ।
उम्मीद से अधिक बढ़कर हैं
इसमें पर कुछ खोने का ग़म भी है
यादें हैं फरियादे है
कुछ बिगड़े बने रिश्ते नाते हैं ।
कहीं अनसुनी अनकही बातों का
बोलता सुंदर पैमाना है
कहीं किसी राह में कोई पत्थर
खुदा का निराला दिवाना है ।
नदियों की बहती कल कल
कोयल की गूंजती कूक
हमेशा हमें एक अलग सा
मीठा अहसास देती है ।
कभी धूप तो कभी छाया
एक अलग रूप है जिंदगी का
जो हमारे सांसों में महकती सी
खुशबू भर देती है ।
आखिर में हौले हौले जुदा होकर
हमें अनगिनत हसीन एवं
खुशनुमा यादें दे जाती हैं
यादें जो हमारी जिघरी दोस्त होती हैं
एक यादें ही तो हैैं
जिनके सहारे हम ये
खूबसूरत ज़िंदगी जीते हैं ।
2. आगे बढ़ने की शुरुआत
मंजिल करीब है, एक कदम तो बढ़ाना
थोड़ा वक्त लगेगा, पर चलने से ना घबराना
असफलता मिल सकती है राह में,
मगर फिर भी ना कतराना,
अपने लक्ष्य को पाने की ललक, थोड़ी और जगाना
सफलता की दिशा में उसको, पाने की चाहत बढ़ाते जाना
मंजिल तो मिलनी ही है, बस अपने कर्म करते जाना
गर हो राह कठिन, तो भी जरा ना हिचकिचाना
अपने मन के हौसले बुलंद कर, आगे ही कदम बढ़ाना
भले ही समय लगे, लक्ष्य को सच्चाई से हासिल करना
ईमानदारी का साथ सदा निभाना
ईश्वर पर विश्वास रखना
आगे बढ़ने की शुरुआत को जारी रखना
3. खूबसूरती पर एक मां द्वारा अपने पुत्र को दी गई सीख
यही तो है जीवन की असली खूबसूरती
१. ज़िंदगी में अंधेरा आऐ तो सुबह का इंतजार मत करना खुद पर भरोसा रखना ओर रोशनी की तलाश में निकलना यही तो है बेटा जीवन की असली खूबसूरती।
२. जिंदगी में गम आए तो सुख का इंतजार मत करना दूसरों को सुख देकर चलना उनकी खुशी में ख़ुश रहना यही तो है बेटा जीवन की असली खूबसूरती।
३. जिंदगी में हार मिले तो जीत का इंतजार मत करना हार से ही जीतकर सच्ची सफलता हासिल करना यही तो है बेटा जीवन की असली खूबसूरती।

A Piece of Me Where I Celebrate Myself Every Day
This is one piece which will be revisited quite often as the ocean of motherhood provides learning bigger than any in this universe.
They say a mother is born when the child arrives in this world. A reality that can never be denied! On this note, to all the marvelous ladies who are mothers and mothers-to-be – I bow my head and wish you a spectacular day and hope that every day of life is a happy mother’s day to all you fine, powerful, terrific ladies!
As a way of celebrating this beautiful day (a day that can be celebrated all 365 ¼ days of life every year) I wish to share bitter truth and celebrate my motherhood!
My son, who is soon to be a year old, has taught me a few valuable lessons. These words of harsh wisdom are lessons that just mark the beginning. I still got a long way to say "I am a fully qualified mother!" because motherhood is the actual institution that is more powerful than school or marriage as the mother is never done learning about her child or herself till her last breath. While this is the moral I live by, here are a few pills, which I am sure would be modified until eternity!
1. You are Never Alone.
The child may be asleep but every minute you feel the need to rush to his bed to be sure he is not crying. He may be playing in some corner of the house but the second you step into the washroom he's following you to the door. He may be well-fed but he wants to be with you while you are eating. Yes, these may sound beautiful but the blissful 'me' time is vanished in thin air. While I would not trade my time with my son for anything else, I do miss those morning coffees in solitude and those long showers. The fact is, there will never be a perfect balance, and that is fine, but initiatives and efforts to stay in touch with oneself are important to remain sane.
2. Your Husband would Never be Fully Adjusted to the Presence of his Child, even After 11 Months!
Those months of sleeping on your left side and feeling numbness in those extremities are the small ways nature gets you accustomed to co-sleeping with your baby. It’s a long way down the road for your husband to get used to sharing his bed with a teeny-tiny human. Nevertheless, the small instances do not mask the crux of what most couples go through during this tough phase –the attention! While most understanding husbands give in their best during the first few years of parenthood, some still work on whispering around a sleeping baby, constraining music or movies, and managing or planning their activities with a child at home.
3. The Maid is your Child’s Best Friend :/
Out of sight is out of mind– one of the best policies that most children innately follow. The look on my son’s face on seeing the maid is like watching a double rainbow and then she is out of his mind for another 24 hours. The communication is better than cartoons on TV. It may not be so heartwarming to many, considering the hygiene she may follow, yet the soft-corner that she keeps for the child is the reason most households have an amicable relationship with her. After all, why risk losing a maid who has become comfortable with your child, right?
4. He May be your First, but Never the First to the World Out There. Welcome the Strange Questions.
All children have only one mode of communication – sound! Yelling, crying or making strange syllable sounds. Yet, I get stunned when someone asks me, how is your child – a cry-baby or normal child? Well, it would be easier to just state what is expected of an answer for such an appalling (lack of a better word) question. Trust me, past 11 months, I have had people throw this question uncountable times or even uttered the words (literally translated to) “He is not a cry baby, he just cries when he’s hungry!” I do not know if I am to gleam with pride or drop my jaws shocked.
This is not the only confounding question (or comment) I have faced. As many others have heard, I too have been a victim of the “Your child is not a chubby baby.” or “He needs to be around people to learn to reach milestones faster” amidst many others. However, (touch-wood), my son has been one of those many gifted kids who takes his time but reaches every milestone on his own like a miracle. He has taught me that leaving him to flow with the nature is not at all a mistake – be it sitting, crawling, standing, pushing through the floor like a swimmer, or sleeping on his stomach – he did it all on his own. He took his time but showed that nature is beauty. Forcing or pushing time to get the child to be faster or quicker makes no sense.
5. Every Day is a New Day – Get the Camera Rolling All Day Long!
Being the only one around a growing infant during the day means a lot of people’s curiosity is answered through your eyes, I mean, the camera’s eyes. Most of the time, I remember those few scenes from F.R.I.E.N.D.S or How I Met Your Mother, where in my son would suddenly do something out of the blue that I wished I’d recorded to show my husband or anyone because I am not sure when the next time would be. It may be some action, some mischief, some sound, some incident, or a new milestone. Every day is a new day, literally. Most just remain special to my eyes (and mind!).
6. Mothers Need to Evolve to keep up to the Current Timeline.
“In our days, we never questioned the elders. If they asked us to do something for the child, we believed it’s for the best. Nowadays, couples question everything that needs to be done for their child. "Haven’t we raised you?” I ascertain that most parents have been a victim of this comment in their early parenthood days till the family realized that their intervention will not be paid heed to.
“Solely breastfeed for the first 6 months” is a challenge to keep up for most mothers. Most family members, by the 3rd-4th month, aim to get the baby started on supplemental diets to “fasten” the growth or increase the baby’s weight. Even stating that the baby is right where he is on the growth chart would yield response - “What’s a growth chart? We did not have Google or such knowledge, and doctors will tell anything.” Then comparison begins.
Ultimately, standing strong and staying determined in believing in yourself and the medical professionals to bring up the healthy baby that he is means staying up-to-date with the current trends of what is healthy, recommended weight growth, vaccinations, activities, etc., and bringing the family together to support and believe in you.
7. The Mother is the First to Notice Every Minute Detail of her Child but Last to be Believed.
From the yellowish tinge in his eyes to the eczema patches in his skin to the allergy in his eyes, I have been the first to notice. Many may respond to this stating that I am the only one around most of the day, thus, it is obvious, but the catch is, “motherly instinct.” To notice something abnormal is the nature’s way of how we, mothers, work. On trying to bring the detail to light, the common response would be, “May be you are thinking too much, he is just fine!” When the time comes to act, the mothers are blamed with this next common response “What were you doing all this while, why didn’t you do something about this before?” Either way, a dumbfounded reaction is all that I have had in these past 11 months that I have been through.
8. Social Awkwardness is Common.
“How come he fell?” “Why these grades” “Why is he restless?” – are a few rhetorical questions that any mother faces. Though children are unpredictable, society too raises unpredictable questions. These questions train the mother (and the father) in facing many a socially awkward situations. Be it hoping that they do what they normally do or speak a certain way or react a certain manner; the situation is always unpredictable with a child. Similarly, the response that a person gets is never the same as what the previous person gets, hence, a bold, outspoken answer or ignorance, mothers become experts in handling situations on-the-go.Of course, a mother is never alone in whatever she does. Parenthood is a team-work. Trying to balance both shoes with one pair of leg is equally a challenge as it is to manage both shoes as a team. With father’s day in June, the month would be flooded with “What’s life without a father” as May was flooded with “Life is meaningless without a mother.” I am sure I would be writing in another article taking my husband’s side, after all, I am a daughter and I would not be where I am without my dad’s contribution. For now, I am just going to enjoy the peaceful hour of my mother’s day (which is every day) by finishing my cup of coffee. Everybody wants to be with your baby and watch the growing miracle of life – but I would not trade my place for anything else, just as I would not trade this moment of bliss. The time is golden for the parents and the world as well. There is always room for improvement, as a mother, as a wife, as a lady, and as a human being in general, but take in the day as it comes.
I have stolen my golden hour by sharing my thoughts with you all. Never forget, the urge to stop time NEVER GOES AWAY - be it corporate world or parenthood; to stop time and love life, love family, and love yourself. Take this time in stride and enjoy the coffee that is life, as I am.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU IRON-WOMEN out there!
I may have missed a few points. Some of the points may trigger a mixed reaction. All opinions are welcomed. However, please do not forget that this article is a one-sided perspective – MY PERSPECTIVE – as they come from what I have seen or experienced. It would be lovely to hear some different perspectives too. Do share your thoughts and reactions in the comments.

Unravel the Wonders of a Minimalistic Wardrobe
Do you keep spending cash on clothing but still find nothing good to wear in your wardrobe? Perhaps, you need to consider altering your clothing choices and play smarter when it comes to dressing up. Strange as it seems, a minimalistic wardrobe can actually be the key to looking stylish!
The world has always adored French women for their amazing dressing sense. They are famous for flaunting awesome looks without spending a big chunk of money. How? They simply make smart choices when it comes to clothes, accessories and footwear.
The good news is that you too can put together a French minimalist wardrobe. Save money and still manage to stand out in the crowd - what could possibly be better?
Creating a Minimalist Wardrobe Like a Pro
1. Mix and match items
You don't have to purchase a number of skirts to match different tops, or buy a pair of leggings for every kurta you have. A smart choice would be to buy a black-coloured skirt and match it with different tops to give it a new look each time. Likewise, those same tops can be worn with a few jeans, capris and palazzo pants in your wardrobe for a completely different look.
2. Have neutral-coloured clothes
A minimalist clothing wardrobe essential is neutral-coloured clothes. Black, white, grey and beige are shades that can easily be matched and worn with each other as well as with other colours. French women tend to avoid gaudy printed fabrics and too-bright colours as they're difficult to mix and match. You can, however, pick a printed scarf or a stylish hat to add colour to a sober-toned outfit.
3. Get a few choice accessories
A simple black maxi dress can go from casual to dressy by adding a few accessories. You can wear it with a pair of ballet flats to head to your child's parent-teacher meeting. When you're done and evening comes around, you can make it dressier by complementing it with a pair of chandelier earrings, a chic hair accessory and a studded bracelet. Slip into heels and you're good to go.
4. Choose easy-to-pair footwear
Pick footwear that's comfortable to wear and that goes well with different clothes. Two or three pairs of low-heeled shoes and sandals in neutral shades are practical enough to let you go chasing after your toddlers. For special occasions, a pair or two of heels with subtle studded details will help you put together a minimalist wardrobe, French style.
5. Change your hairstyle
When was the last time you flaunted a new hairstyle that you and hubby loved? While you may have wisely chosen a style that suits your face cut and taste, sticking with it for years and years is boring! The trick is to don a stylish look ever so often - a ponytail one day, a topknot on the next, and a half updo on the third day.
With these minimalistic wardrobe tips, you can stop spending your money on buying new clothes and accessories every month and pick a few choice items instead. Clever shopping and clever dressing can get you looking Parisian-chic in no time. Your husband is likely to be one happy man! Read more

A. the sleeping pattern of the child changes from time to time and will improve with increasing age of the child. if the growth and weight gain of the child is proper along with proper urine stool then there is no need to worry regarding the sleeping pattern.
you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. aldso see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep. d
