Energy drinks?

Question

Hey ladies, please don't eat me alive but I'm generally curious about drinking one energy drink a night during pregnancy? I'm 8 weeks and I'm starting night shift tonight. I'm so exhausted and I'm worried that my level of exhaustion will hinder my performance at work. I only have seven hours to clean an entire private school, alone and then I have to drive home (30 minute drive) I work 4 - 11. I can't sleep all day because I have class. 
Thoughts?

Answer

200 mg caffeine total daily from coffee, tea, etc is considered age. However it’s the other ingredients in an energy drink I would be more concerned about. If you are taking a prenatal vitamin then you don’t want to have an energy drink on the same day since most of them contain too many B vitamins including  up to 1000 daily percent of B12, and excess synthetic vitamins in pregnancy can harm your baby. The most common ingredients in energy drinks which are considered potentially harmful during pregnancy are caffeine, taurine, Guarana, excess B vitamins, ginseng, Gingko Biloba, L-Carnitine, creatine, Glucuronolactone and milk thistle.

Answer

Maybe try alaninu energy drinks

Answer

I'd stick to coffee and just ensure I was getting as much sleep as possible- can you nap between classes? When you get further on in your pregnancy - will you be allowed to work alone? In the UK there are rules on 'working alone' when pregnant.

Answer

It isn't about the caffeine it's about the other ingredients in an energy drink. Most even state on the can that they are not for pregnant people. Just drink tea or coffee

Answer

Up to 200mg caffeine per day is generally considered safe

Answer

I mean its up to you but its really not recommended and may have harmful side effects from too much caffeine intake.
