redbull

Before I was pregnant I drank multiple redbull a day. For the last week or so I have been craving a redbull so bad. I'm like the guy on yes man "redbull redbull redbull" haha! Anyways, I am 12 weeks and 2 days. Would it be okay to have one of the 8ounce redbulls? Please no bashing. I am trying to make sure its okay first.

I was addicted to Redbull before I found out I was pregnant I was drinking 2 20oz redbulls a day. I bought 10 twenty oz redbulls cuz they were only $2.50 at the store and a pregnancy test. I took the test and had to give all my redbull away. I completely cut all caffeine out of my diet. Too much could cause pre labor.

Please don't do that to baby. Its very unhealthy for you but much worse for baby. It could easily cause his heart to race and stress him/her out. I'm not trying to be mean but it's really not worth the risk. I understand missing things you've had habitually. I smoke medicinally for fibromialgia and insomnia and once I got pregnant my midwife asked me to switch to oils and only use it when the pain is too bad to function. It was rough but got through it for my babies. Its only 9 months (though it seems like forever) so just keep thinking about your precious bundle and it'll be easier to give up your past habits/cravings with them in mind :)

I feel your pain! I love Redbull!  & my husband is torturing me because he drinks them all the time and we have them in our fridge right now, but I haven't touched one since finding out I'm pregnant. They're not good for you anyway, so I definitely wouldn't wanna risk it while pregnant.

Maybe if you take one tiny sip just for your craving. I think should be fine.

I would say no.  I've noticed on energy drinks it says do not consume if pregnant or breastfeeding.  its not good for baby.  they should really come out with a juice that tastes like it that doesn't have a affect like aredbull cause I am craving one too lol

I would skip that one love, caffeine in doses like that can be bad for the baby. Like babydude said, a sip or two would be ok. I know I would not have the restraint if I started drinking it though, I would probably end up drinking more than I should!

I wouldn't. I dont think it would do harm but red bull has a lot of bad stuff in it. That probably isn't too healthy for baby to drink. You could always Google it.
