they say you can have caffeine in
moderation. apparently "they" consider
moderation to be no more than 6 cans a
day.
i drank a lot of coke when i was pregnant
and finn turned out fine.

I didn't drink any caffine in the
begining.....about till week 14 or so.
Then I got this strong craving for Dr.
Pepper. I drink 1-2 20oz bottles a day. I
assume it's okay. I really love it right
now and I don't think it comes in caffine
free. Although if I drink pepsi or coke I
do drink the caffine free version.

I drank so much Pepsi you probably
could've drowned me in it 
My baby seems to be fine. I would think
that the general rule for everything is to
do it in moderation.

courtnie said it, everything in
moderation!
this time around i'm drinking diet pepsi
and other diet sodas. i blame a lot of my
weight gain with finn on the amount of
coke i consumed (along with the cheese and
sour cream on everything!). coke in cans
was one of my biggest cravings with him,
this time i'm not drinking much soda but i
am drinking a ton of water (and pay for
that by having to get up 5 times during
the night).

I drank pop during both of my pregnancies
and both my children are fine. Actually
everything that I have read about pop says
that there really isn't a lot of caffeine
in it. Nothing like a cup of coffee. I
think that there is something like 30mg of
caffeine in a can, and your allowed about
300mg a day. So I think that you are fine.

Have any of you tried the cherry coke
zero?? It actually tastes REALLY good.
Plus, it's better for you. Not good, but
better.
I think drinking 1-2 cans a day is fine.
Just don't drink too much caffeine. Your
baby will be doing somersaults haha

I just read that 2-3 cups of coffee is ok
during pregnancy. SO I'd figure it'd be
about the same for coke/pepsi.
I've TOTALLY cut out caffeine for this
pregnancy(as I did for Oni). Plus the
sugar will make me pack on the pounds!
lol!!!
