So far, I've been drinking cold milo, H2O, fruit juices, boost juice shakes, all cold stuff coz my whole body feels hot with the increased temperature. Only take hot milo in the morning partly coz my parents will nag if I drink cold drinks. But are cold drinks not allowed during preg? Anyone knows why?

Same here. I take cold drinks almost everyday. Cold milo, orange juice, sugar cane, milkshake, longan water.

At times, it's the weather, at times I crave for them.

The older generation says that the baby will get 'cold' and catch flu, running nose and cough easily. Not sure how true. My grandma always chide me for drinking cold water. Haha! My body felt so hot that I need cold water. I ate and drunk all kinds of rubbish after the first trimester.

Agree! I think my constant illness is also bcoz my mom didn't give me breast milk. Sis and I often sick and physically not very strong. But could be due to genes also.

I get cough easily and dad say its in the genes but also maybe bcoz the elders at that time like to smoke a lot even ard children, so my dad kanna cough easily. My dad dun smoke but, last time I close to my grandpa coz staying with grandparents and my grandpa smoke opium n cig!

I'm also taking cold drinks but mainly juices , fresh milk which is meant to be chilled. But i did not take them with ice. Always opt out ice for juices.
I think it is not so much on the baby health but more to our own womb not getting the warmth.
Weaker people if they take ice water daily u will notice they will drool when asleep hehehe do you?
Even chow yun fatt says he preserve his health and youth by drinking water not less than 5 degree celcius - do you believe ?
