You want to consume 200 mg or less.   Studies have shown that consuming more than that can double the risk of miscarriages and stillbirth.   So you can have a coke/Pepsi a day but limit it there, watch coffee intake as well as chocolate. Keep it under 200 mg.  when drinking juice I go for the ones that are 100% juice. Natural  sugars are better for you than the additives. My dr said that was the right choice and that it only becomes and issue should gestational diabetes becomes an issue for you.

Because everything you eat and drink is going through your placenta straight to the baby and while it's developing in our bodies putting strain on it might be too much but its a personal choice that's just why they say to stear clear it's just better for their over all health and growth
