Okay, i'm young and pregnant..And really scared about hurting my baby. This might sound like a dumb question, but I was just wondering about drinks (non-alcoholic, obcviously)
1)are you not supposed to have 'diet' drinks that have artificial sweeteners in them?
2)does hot chocolate have caffein in it? Am I not supposed to drink it
3)are there any thing I should avoid/drink lots of??
...Thanks for your help

It not a stupid question at all..... :)
1)diet drinks with aspartame isn't good for the baby, or so I was told when I was pregnant with my first.
2)hot chocolate does have caffeine
3)milk and water are excellent to drink!

I hope I helped a little :)
