Energy drinks

[KayMartinez0427]

I'm ten weeks and have a high risk of miscarriage (it's a problem in my family) so I have been doing absolutely everything right so I don't lose this pregnancy, we have been trying for close to a year now. I gave up my daily six cups of coffee, I gave up smoking, I gave up energy drinks and all thing bad for pregnancy. I have been craving a Monster energy drink for weeks now but I kept telling myself no, but I had one this morning and I feel so guilty. I keep telling myself one isn't going to make a difference and long as I only had that one but I'm scared I'm going to miscarry now, and that might sound stupid but I can't get it out of my head. I read that as long as you keep that sort of stuff to a minimum it's ok but since I have a risk...  Have any of you gone through this, or even know about energy drinks during pregnancy. I really need some advice or comforting words...

Also I just wanted to add that there are no conclusive studies indicating how harmful some of the ingredients in those drinks have on a fetus, for example taurine. Caffeine increses the risk of miscarriage proportionately with the amount consumed so its in your best interest to just lay off if you are at higher risk. Take care

[Destynee2015]

The maximum amount of caffeine for a pregnant woman per day is 200 mg. Energy drinks are really not good for your baby. If you have to have one, just keep it in moderation. I wouldnt have more than 2 per week. Those things really get your heart pumping so just really stay in moderation.

As I can't drink coffee my Dr has told me to have one when I get a migraine as I can't take any migraine medication during pregnancy. They say 300 MG of caffeine a day is the max and most energy drinks have between 150-170 MG I wouldn't worry. I've done everything as I should and miscarried and I've done as I want within reason one energy drink isn't enough to worry and feel guilty about. I average at least 2 a week.
