Caffeine in moderation is fine. Like 1
coke or coffee a day.

Think like this u weight x amount of
pounds and how does caffeine affect u?
Now think if u weighed less than a pound
what it does. Not that all the coke goes
straight to the baby (studies have been
able to determine how much) you should
limit yourself to 2 a day. Aanother
reason not to drink it is caffeine acts as
a diuretic drawing fluids and calcium from
your body, it also affects your iron
intake (a really big deal when u are
pregnant cuz the amount of irn u ahve is
what helps you stop bleeding after giving
birth and you wouldnt want to loose to
much blood) plus since u already have
crazy hormone issues (or will) caffeine
helps increase normal mood swings (u might
not b to much fun to be around) all this
came from what to expect when u are
expecting a book u really need if u are
pregnant.

I dont drink coffee but I do drink pepsi
I didnt drink pepsi very much until last
three weeks (im 32 wks) but im so
exhausted and I already have a daughter
that I need that extra wake up and im
sleeping 8-12hrs a day.....
Honestly everything during pregnancy is
in moderation even when ur not prego as
for vitamins dont worry about them not
hitting ur system completely. What alot
of people dont know is that when you drink
milk it coats ur stomach and doesnt ingest
a vitamin completly thats why you take ur
vitamin first and then food and stuff
after ur dr will tell u if u need extra
iron....Im anemic and for some reason
during my pregnancys my iron level shoots
up the roof even without vitamins I dont
take prenatal I just take childrens
vitamins after choking on a vitamin and
forcing myself to puke it up wasnt
fun......
Take care if ever u have questions ask the
dr or get the book what to expect while
expecting!!
Jess

From "eating expectantly" by bridget
swinney:
"heavy caffeine consumption of 300
milligrams per day has been shown to cause
small reductions in birth weight...Several
studies have also suggested an association
between caffeine and miscarriage."
a 12 oz coke has 31 mg, mountain dew has
the most with 55 mg. Coffee has anywhere
from 95mg (instant coffee) to 200 mg
(starbucks drip). There is caffeine in
tea, even snapple iced tea (48mg in 16
oz). There are small amounts of caffeine
in hot cocoa, chocolate, and most anything
coffee flavored (pudding, yogurt, ice
cream).
The point is, just watch how much caffeine
you take in because it adds up! :)

My doctor told me avoiding caffeine
altogether is best while pregnant. It's
not good for your body whether pregnant or
not, but we all love it haha

maybe you got lucky, but thats no reason
to tell everyone to go for it, lots of
caffine is bad for you regardless if your
pregnant or not.
Maybe he is a lot of that "stuff" but you
just dont see it because your his mother?
Or maybe he is just too young to show
signs.
Get educated on these things before you
tell people to "go for it"

That's why I was asking about her sons
age.
I drank pop while pregnant and brian has
adhd and my youngest, jordan, has
developmental delays.

I dont think she meant "go for it" as
in....Yah! Go drink as much caffiene as
you possibly can! I think as long as you
watch yourself..You are ok.
I was told one coffee or one soda (with
caffiene) was ok.
