Energy Drinks:Is my baby in trouble?

[MB22]

Hello. I have on about three or four seperate occasions gone out for special occassions and in lieu of drinking (obviously), I would have 2-3 Redbulls or related energy drink. I though because there was not caffeine listed in it, it would be okay. Well now I am reading that it's not listed because energy drinks don't fall under FDA regulation, and that there is not only caffiene but lots of other stuff that can be bad for your baby. I am really worried that I caused harm. Are there any side effects that have been found other than lower than normal birth weight? Freaking out and so mad at myself for not double checking!

With all the hype about caffeine lately I can only give you my personal opinion/experience.  I am a BIG soda drinker....I drank tons of caffeine with my first two, more than i should have with my second two and the same with this one.  So far, no problems.

Think carefully at the title. "Energy Drink" the only things that can give you that beyond regular normal boosts are caffine, nicotine, speed etc. I doubt that you've harmed your baby since it was a couple of times. As long as you dont abuse it you should be fine. You probably had the baby shaking a little and getting a little withdrawl symtoms but you dont want your baby needing that when born because then you're really going to have a problem. It's like drugs for them. Talk to your doctor and see if there is anyway to know while still pregnant if you've harmed the baby. They will have way more insight to this. I hope all is well and that you take care of you and yours!
