Well I looked it up and it said that in one can of cherry coke there is 35 milligrams of caffeine. So I guess it depends on how much caffeine you get from other things throughout the day. I'm pretty sure up to 200 mg (or 300, I can't remember) is considered safe. So if your really craving it, then I would drink a can :)
thats the problem, i had 2 and half bottles of it yesterday. the 20 oz bottles.. How much is in those lol? And i dont have any other cafeine intake. well other then this twix im about to eat:) but thats nothing lol
I think caffeine intake just increases your chances of miscarriage and you are 37 weeks so I think you are fine. The baby may get a little caffeine buzz in there and you may feel a little crampy because it can cause some slight contractions but I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Just don't get too crazy.
Well the can of it that has 35 mg, would be 12 oz. So in a 20oz bottle would be about 58.33 mg of caffeine. So 2 and a half would be 145.825 mg (if my calculations are right haha). So I think your still safe. And when I looked it up again, I think jroberston20 was right, it it said to increase the chance of miscarriage, and again, you are 37 weeks, already full term!
I am going to have to agree with the other ladies. I love Cherry Coke (but I have cut out all caffeine this time around) and when I was about 37 weeks with my last son I used to drink it all of the time. He was born perfectly healthy and had no complications. I would say don't go too overboard but feel free to drink it. I think that it should be fine and the 300 mg per DAY so if you had it yesterday you can have it today too. You are so close to the end, don't deny yourself =)
They say 300 mg a day is safe. I cut caffeine out for the first trimester and now I drink a can of Mt Dew a day and sometimes I have one or two cokes also. I wouldn't worry about it.
Thanks everyone for the reassurance. i was so worried about it but couldnt help myself. Im craving one now, but hubby took my car to work, so i have no way to get one and its driving me crazy. ugh hes supposed to bring me one hom but thats nearly 5 hours away :(
I don't know how much caffeine is coffee, but my ob told me that 2 cups of coffee a day was fine and wouldn't hurt a fetus. I'm sure the coffee has way more caffeine than a cherry coke lol - I think you and your baby will be just fine :)
Does anyone know how much caffeine is in chocolate? I eat ALOT of chocolate, I can't get enough! I've been trying to cut back but it is so hard for me
Chocolate has cafeine in it, but not even close enough to say so... So go ahead and endulge.. Im going through a Twix phase right now :)
OMG I used to drink one bottle of cherry coke every couple of days when I was preggers. Tasted like heaven! oh and btw my baby is fine so yours will be too!
lol , im so addicted to it.. I dont know why or how it happend, it jsut came in my head one day like 2 weeks ago. and now i cant stop drinking them!!!! and they are like heaven, for now anyway, ha so are Twix candy bars
Im the same with Diet Coke! Its mental-but its only the cans I can get that ahhhhhhhhh feeling from. Freezing cold can of Diet Coke yumyum!
Can't stand Cherry coke but reading your post made my mouth water for a can of my fav!!!
I'm a coca-cola girl too...(classic, though). I have to say for me it's the bottles, not the cans. They're just so CRISP! But right now all I want is ice...lol. Yes i'm slightly anemic.
Now drinking a ice cold can of Diet Coke :) Ahhhhhhhhhhh........ Im clinking my can to your bottle's girls lol
LOL ice AND coke...there's something we can ALL agree on ;).
i was a rootbeer and dr pepper craver while i was pregnant.
My mummy LOVES root beer-she craved it whilst pregnant but it's SO hard to find over here! Its like £4 a can which is like $8! But she loves it!
I think it's VILE! lol!
Oh before i got pregnant i was a big regular Coke fan... And thats what hubby drinks to, theres times when before I could get myself to have a soda, I would take a lil sip off his and die lol... I really love regualr coke, like i said before i never even drank cherry coke before I was pregnant.. But two weeks ago it took over me.. and id have to agree its only as good when I pour it from a bottle into a large cup of ice and drink it with a straw.. store clerks look atme funny cause i go into the store just to get cups of ice.. lol
