Quoting V's Mom! [EXPECTING #2!]:" any type of caffeine while pregnant? what is your thoughts on it?"

like a champion...............bhahhahah...............ok I did cut down.. but I love my sweet tea.. and they are saying its not really that bad....I personally truly enjoy and have to have my tea.... but im down to a large one a day .....damn swelling hahaha

I did.  


I would have a can of soda every few days this last pregnancy.

I would love some but not right now. I choose not to while pregnant but that's just me.

you are allowed to have some, I think like 8 oz a day or something of caffinated beverage. I had it all the time with DD (I was a mt dew addict). idk what it is supposed to do. but now I have cut myself off caffine since then (I had really bad addiction, and suffered from withdrawals and crap). so no I dont have it now.

Everyday. All I drink is sweet tea. And maybe soda like every once in a while. Aside from juice ! But yup. And I'll treat myself to a frappe every once in a blue moon

I do if I have a bad headache. So maybe a can of coke every great once in awhile.

I did, because if I don't have a soda in the morning I'm a horrible bitch to deal with, I did cut back though.

I cut out soda when I was pregnant. I did have it a handful of times but mostly gave it up all together.

with my first baby i was able to completely cut out any caffeine but with this one i got so addicted to coffee that im having a hard time staying away from it. i have a cup of the iced vanilla coffee from the Delight or whateevr its called like every other day.. and i feel so guilty before i was pregnant i was drinking like 4 cups of coffee a day, so i feel like im doing okay. just hope that im not drinking coffee by week 8. :/

why is caffeine bad?

I cut caffeine totally out when I was in the first and second trimester, but in the third, I think I'd drink a mt dew every few days.

youll be fine, you are supposed to limit caffine, but you dont have to cut it out completely. a lot of food has caffine that you dont even know about. dont worry

i just feel sooo guilty! lol

I will drink a diet coke now and then but i'm now trying to switch to caffeine free soda.

Yep, once a week or so. When I would get bad headaches my midwife suggested 2 extra strength tylenol and a can of caffinated soda. That usually did the trick and headache would be gone.
