Will it hurt the baby?

Question

Soo I’ve been drinking water all week, I’m out to eat with family and i wasn’t thinking and i ordered a mountain dew my mom just told me that it could hurt the baby. But this is my first soda all week. Could it really hurt my baby? & will it come out having autism? My mom is freaking me out. Mind you im 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Help!!!

Answer

Omg she’s awful!!! Your baby will be fine. One Mt Dew won’t do anything. Yes, you’re supposed to limit your caffeine intake during pregnancy and sugary caffeinated beverages are not really good for anyone. But your baby won’t be harmed or have autism because you drank one Mt Dew. That’s a really shitty thing for your Mom to say and not even correct. I’m so sorry you had to deal with her being mean to you.

Answer

No, Mountain Dew isn’t going to hurt it and it certainly isn’t the cause of autism.

Answer

Lol. It shouldn’t. Drinking a soda every now & then is ok!

Answer

No it will not hurt the baby. The concern is the caffeine but a can of mountain dew has around 50mg of caffeine I believe and you're just supposed to stay under 200 a day.

Answer

you're fine. you can have up to 200 mlg of caffeine a day while pregnant. that's horrible she's freaking you out like that! :( I'm avoiding it but I have had a few cokes here and there when I forget to order sprite or don't want water. also that early baby isn't really pulling nutrients from you just yet, it gets its nutrients from the yolk, like a chicken in an egg would. your body is just sending out all the hormones to get things going and prepared. Baby has the yolk for now and then will grow and use the placenta towards 10 weeks. that's what pulls nutrients from you. :)

Answer

Oh my goodness, I have 3 healthy, happiest boys who are probably 80% Mountain Dew. That’s all I drink. Your mom is awful to suggest that.

Answer

Nope one soda is not going to hurt the baby. I have a sprite or coke every once in awhile and baby is healthy ! baby will be just fine!

Answer

your baby will be fine! I have a friend who is pregnant with her FIFTH boy and all she ever drinks is mt few (which I do not recommend) but all her kids are fine

Answer

You’re fine. You can have up to 200mg if caffeine a day, which is more than 2 small RedBulls.
