Something About Being Pregnant
Posted: 01-14-08 17:35pm

Makes me crave coke in the can. I know that it's really bad for you and in general I drink almost NO caffiene while I'm pregnant. I was having one can a week then stopped that too. Then a few nights ago my husband brought me home a 12 pack of it /panic now its sitting there looking at me O.O haha.

Do I have to give up caffeine now that I'm pregnant?

Not necessarily. You can still enjoy your favorite caffeinated drinks as long as you don't overdo it. After years of controversy over the issue, most researchers now believe that, although caffeine does cross the placenta, moderate amounts (less than 300 milligrams a day) won't harm your baby.

That's about what you may get from just one strongly brewed 8-ounce cup of coffee. Keep in mind that the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee varies widely depending on how strong it is, and that your serving size depends on how big your mug is — a typical mug holds about 10 ounces.

Many pregnant women limit their intake even further or cut out caffeine completely. If that seems wise to you, you won't get any arguments from your midwife or doctor.

Oh i'm gonna have that coke lol. The only reason I'm extra careful is that I have high blood pressure (always not just when pregnant) so I'm always worried about the baby's blood flow. I was an iced tea junkie and i've managed to kick that habbit for the time being ^^
