Soft drinks

so I've been craving a big red every since I found out is as pregnant I have not had any caffeine or softdrinks been drinking just water I might have a sweet tea everyone in a blue moon. Is it okay to have a pop to every once in awhile without it hurting baby?! I'm 7 weeks

I craved Dr pepper with my youngest. Drank at least 2 a day, no coffee tho. Dr just said they might come out smaller is all. Which they did, 5.9 17in, and 6.10 19.5in. I wouldn't worry too much

I LOVE SODA!!! and I usually don't, but since being pregnant it has been heaven sent to me!!! It started with my morning sickness and turned into this love. Lol that being said you're fine, because soda has about 1/3 the amount of caffeine than coffee and you're allowed to have 12 oz coffee a day.

Just be careful if sugar/ diabetes is an issue for you. Its not in my case but of it is you may have to be careful!!!

I'm having a mountain dew right now, and it is oh so very delicious!!!

Yes you can have up to 200 mg of caffeine a day. Just make sure you don't have too much and you drink plenty of water
