Ever since I found out I was pregnant I quit smoking, drinking, and Caffine...i felt a little upset because I had just turned 21!!!.granted I wasnt much of a party person..but that freedom was taken away. So now..i feel like a rebel when I drink a mountain dew! Once a week I get a bottle of done caffeinated beverage and have the same guilty pleasure as if I was taking a shot o.o any of you ladies felt this before?  I also ate a tiny piece of feta cheese and got scared as if I popped pills o.o crazy I tell ya..

Ladies, I enjoyed a can of coke a day sometimes two depending on how much nausea I had. Unless Ur mainlining red bull or energy drinks all day. Woman for years smoked cigarettes n drank alcohol while pregnant, some of our mothers may be those women. While things change and doc are crazy cautious a little caffenine a day won't hurt the baby!

this post made me laugh a little but because I remember feeling the same way
my Dr said as long I stayed between 200-300 mg of caffeine a day I would be fine just to make sure I was still drinking my 8 glasses of water a day.... I still feel slightly naughty and guilty if I treat myself to a frappuccino from starbucks. With other things I figure women have been having babies for a long time without all the don't eat this and don't eat that.....so I just make sure I wash my fruits and veggies and try to make my own meals....I still eat lunchmeat without heating it up and eat all types of cheeses and I haven't had a problem and my Dr is okay with it

Caffeine is ok. Just don't make it ur only liquid intake. My doc says a can of coke a few times a week is ok.

I drink soda a couple times a week. And I've cheated a bit on the cheese too! Thankfully only 7 1/2 weeks left tho and I can eat it again!
