296340 tn?1336164001 I agree with Tricia! Moderation is always the key!!!! Someday's I would need a coke in the worst way, so I would have one then I would make sure to increase my water intake that day because coke dehydrates you. If it is just the flavor you are looking for and not the caffeine pick-me-up then why don't you try caffeine free coke? It taste just like the good stuff!!!!!!
Avatar n tn Just limit it to 200 mg of caffeine per day and youll be fine. I drank coke with all 3 of my babies the entire pregnancy and all are fine. Make sure youre not just drinking soda though. Drink lots of water too.
Avatar n tn Because that would be a lot better, than coffee for both you and the baby. Ofcause the pregnancy in it self is exhausting for your body. Also you could look into herbal tea, I found a great tea which is actually made for pregnant women and it helps a lot. Just google pregnancy herbal tea.!
Avatar n tn ve only been sticking to decaf coffee in my pregnancy (9 weeks). Your headaches might not be due to caffeine withdrawal it can also be a pregnancy symptom, I've been getting lots. I found that with my constant fatigue real coffee doesn't help anyways. You are at highest risk for miscarriage is in the first trimester so I would be extra careful and stick to the recommended amount. Try drinking more water throughout the day to help ease and prevent headaches!
Avatar f tn Is it true that caffeine is not allowed in pregnancy ??? I drink daily a cup of nescafe in the morning and now im 7 weeks pregnant... Do i have to stop it ??
Avatar f tn What's so bad about drinking caffeine during pregnancy I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I stoped drinking soda and COFFE my two favorite drinks I crave both of them so much I do have some occasionally but not daily I just want to now what's so bad about it
Avatar f tn Its not really the pop that is bad it is more about the caffeine in the pop..they say to limit the amount of caffeine that you take in...I would chose a diet and caffeine free pop if you drink any at all...I'm glad you found something to settle your stomach I can't drink anything with carbanation to it because it just turned my stomach and makes me sick every time...
Avatar f tn I drink soda all the time I know I'm not supposed to but I still do. I'm 24 weeks and everything is fine with my pregnancy so far they haven't found anything wrong! I do always have my water jug with me though so I'm not just drinking soda!
Avatar f tn I know the doctor told me its completely fine as long as I have under 200 mg a day but sometimes I still feel guilty when I have a cup.. what do you guys think? Is there anyone avoiding caffeine for the entire pregnancy? I'm 14 weeks by the way.
Avatar n tn I had super bag migraines with my first pregnancy and had either coffee or soda to help cope through the entire thing since there is no migraine med safe during pregnancy. No issues at all.
Avatar f tn You can drink caffeine drinks during pregnancy but it's better not to because it increases the chances of having a miscarriage. The recommended amount is a cup of coffee per day.
Avatar f tn I believe you can have like 200mg a day. I have one can of coke and that does me good. This is my second pregnancy and I did the same with my first.
Avatar f tn I drink mountain few all day every day, I get severe headaches and flu like symptoms without caffeine, my doc has told me that as long as I try drinking water in the morning when I wake up and a bottle with 2 meals, and a healthy drink like v8 juice with my 3rd meal every day i'm ok and it would do more harm than help to quit completely
11157192 tn?1430159059 Omg girl I feel you that's exactly wat I crave I am not a fan of coffee or soda but with this pregnancy I have to drink a coffee everyday and if I don't drink it I start vomitin or i get a bad head ache
Avatar f tn What could drinking caffeine during your pregnancy do to baby I usually drink a cup in the morning probably 6 oz. But occasionally I drink pepsi or Coca-Cola later like if someone takes me out to dinner I get weird cravings for it.
Avatar f tn The doctors told me 8 ounces is the most he recommends a day, but make sure you drink lots of water throughout the day as well. I've been drinking pop, but also lots of water to help flush it all out.
Avatar f tn m pregnant with my 3rd child, so this is definitely not my first rodeo, but I find that I am more tired with this pregnancy than I was with my other 2 and i am super early on only (7 weeks). Prior to the pregnancy I was a very loyal and dedicated coffee, and monster drinker. I love my caffeine. I cut wayyyyyyy down but how much caffeine is a safe and ok amount to drink?
8464451 tn?1409883976 Sugar and fat and caffeine are all bad for you. Even the sodium levels are high on sodas. I still drink them though, but just like once a week or every other week. Sometimes I just want carbonation lol But that's another thing if you suffer from acid reflux, soda can make it worse by keeping your stomach open and letting out acids.
1690584 tn?1340297472 Also Fioricet has both a barbiturate and caffeine. Caffeine should be limited to 200 mg or less per day while pregnant and one Fioricet has 40mg. Definitely do some research before taking Fioricet while pregnant. I've been taking Tylenol for my migraines while pregnant which doesn't entirely get rid of them but at least keeps them at bay. I have also found that warm showers and a heating pad on my neck helps some. Best wishes for you...hopefully your migraines will ease up!
Avatar f tn I cut out caffeine completely when I first found out I was pregnant. But my doctor said one caffeine drink a day is ok and my mom and all my friends drank caffeine during pregnancy. I don't have it daily but I get those random frappucino cravings too. Just get a small size or a kid size or even a decaf flavor. I eat very healthy & take my prenatals.
Avatar f tn Yes I drank nothing but soda with my first pregnancy about 3cans a day and my son did fine no harm to him and he is now 4/and healthier then ever..
Avatar f tn I know your supposed to stay away from caffeine during pregnancy, but will it hurt if you drink a little bit of caffeine a day like a small cup? Also what about frappe's?
Avatar f tn This is my third pregnancy to do this. I just steer clear of mountain dew cause it has higher caffeine and i only have one or sometimes two regular sized cups of coffee a day.
