I've had a cup of coffee or a can of pop daily since I  was 15 weeks. My doc said you can have 24 oz per day.

I drink dr pepper everyday
Drank it everyday before pregnancy so i just continued but cut back.
200Mg caffeine a day allowed in pregnancy. one 12oz can of dr pepper is 41mg
I'm sure pepsi isn't far from that ;)

I drink it at least once a day. If your drinking like a 12 pack or a liter is when it will become a problem not every now and than

I drink coffee everyday because it helps with head achs while nothing else does. I'm not giving up every thing just because I'm pregnant lol. I did it by the book my first pregnancy and was miserable and had an awful pregnancy. This time I'm allowing myself to indulge a little. Like sweets, coffee, sprite, etc...nothing bad just some junk lol.

I'm 39wks and drink Pepsi a couple times a week, especially when I'm feeling tired and need a wake up call. Baby is perfectly healthy and full term, now I'm playing the waiting game :) I have completely cut out coffee though, just because I was craving pepsi I didnt want to have too much caffeine, haha. Good luck!

Ive drank dr.pepper with all 3 of my babies and they are all perfectly healthy and big. You are allowed up to 200 mg per day of caffeine so a pepsi is not going to hurt you or baby.
