Caffeine intake??

Question

I got my BFP yesterday! Estimated to be 4wks 6days! All I ever drink is coke! Trying to force myself to drink water but now I’m getting terrible headaches...is soda safe? If so..how much can I drink?? Thanks in advance!

Answer

I wouldn’t only worry about the caffeine but also the high amount of sugar. You don’t want to put yourself at risk gestational diabetes. Your headaches is more likely from the drop in your sugar intake since you consume so much. Which will fade as your body adjusts. I would seriously decrease the amount of soda you are drinking so ensure the healthiest pregnancy possible.

Answer

I was a massive caffeine addict until I decided to try to get pregnant. Now I only have caffeine if it’s in something I eat. It was HARD the first month, but knowing its better for my baby made it so much easier!! The added sugar isn’t great (soda), but like the other ladies have said if you keep it under 200mg a day you should be good!!

Answer

I will only have 1 cup of coffee. The limit is 200mg of caffeine but I like to play it extra safe.

Answer

I think it all depends on the actual person. 
I spoke to my midwife and I explained since stopping energy drinks (it’s a very unhealthy habit I have I know) I been feeling shakey constant head aches because I been trying to drink just squash & water, she told me it’s fine to drink pop, and have coffee/tea as my body is used to having such high caffeine intake 
My friend on the other hand or only drank to cans of pop a day was told to stop drinking pop! 
So I would phone your midwife and explain to her/him :) 
But I have found orange & mango squash helps me but that might be because of the sugar in it but obviously it’s better than three energy drinks a day

Answer

My ob told me up to 200 mg a day last time. There were days I was definitely over that though and I have a perfectly healthy almost 2 year old. Do what you have to. But you also need to be drinking water.

Answer

It says you’re supposed to limit caffeine to 200 mg a day, which a can of Coke usually has maybe 32mg 
I also love soda, I’ve been drinking sprite, Fanta, and ginger ale a lot now as it’s caffeine free but it still has carbonation, and juices too like Minute Maid or Welch’s juices.

Answer

Okay, I’ve had like 4 sips of coke and it upsets my stomach. Only thing I can drink right now is orange juice and lactaid chocolate milk.

Answer

200mg of caffeine a day is fine for pregnancy.
