Energy drinks?

Question

I am 7+3 days and I’ve had an energy drink, a can of monster and I don’t feel guilty. I know the dangers etc, but I can’t stop craving them and I feel better when I’ve had one. I’ve only had one today since finding out at 4 weeks, I didn’t drink them with my little girl or smoke but I’m really struggling this time round.
Did anyone else drink energy drinks while pregnant?

Answer

You shouldn't drink them when not pregnant, so definitely shouldn't be drinking them while pregnant.

Answer

That’s horrible :/ you shouldn’t even drink them regardless of being pregnant or not. Be more responsible.

Answer

I drink a monster mocha every day I can’t function without the boost getting up at 4am for work. I’m 25 weeks with twin boys. No complications.

Answer

I definitely drink caffeine. Loved redbull before my first son, but eventually was able to switch to something less harmful for my body. Maybe try switching up what kind of caffeine you’re drinking? (I would say this even if you weren’t pregnant because they’re really not good for you!)

Answer

That’s very very harsh on your body and the chemicals pass over to baby. I’d switch to regular coffee since it doesn’t have all of the additives.

Answer

I still drink a rockstar everyday about 160 mg of caffeine spread over the whole day. 33 weeks no complications and less me sleeping all fricking day lol I don't feel bad either. To each their own.

Answer

I’ve had a Red Bull once since being pregnant and I’m 12 1/2 weeks and baby dong fine. I wouldn’t make a habit of it though. I think every now and then is ok

Answer

Personally I wouldn’t drink it. But if you’re really craving something it’s hard because I had to drink a can of Coke cause I was craving it so bad lmao so no judgement from me.
I guess it would be better to not drink a whole can? Maybe have a few sips and then have some more an other day. Or just drink a small glass instead of a can? Since the cans are big.

Answer

Wow some extreme responses on here. I would go through the ingredients to check, usually one a one off mistake (IF that’s what it is) for food things isn’t a big deal, you can always check with your doc if you’re concerned.
I do 1-2 energy drinks a week, I go for Red Bull though since it doesn’t have guarana or a lot of extra stuff without much data, it mainly just has caffeine and B vitamins (which help a ton with the nausea).
As long as you’re sticking under your caffeine limit and looking into your ingredients (rather than screaming omg chemicals!) I don’t see the problem.

Answer

Dr told me that up to 200mg of caffeine is safe. I’m not sure what monster has but just keep it within that range :)
