They say you can have 600mg of caffeine a day during pregnancy. Enjoy a mt dew here and there!! It won't hurt, my bff drinks nothing but diet mt dew and she has 2 completely healthy babies

I drink pepsi, and sometimes I drink alot of it as it has become a massive craving of mine. But I balance it out and drink twice as much water. Im nearly 35 weeks and my son is healthy and happy.

Mountain dew occasionally won't harm your baby,  I guess I just wondered why you said your baby wanted it.

You are supposed to drink 8oz of water every hour you are awake. You can drink your Mt. Dew but you will need to drink 2x the about of water that you drink soda. So if you drink an 8oz glass of Mt. Dew you also need to drink 16oz of water!

I think as long as you don't drink a ton, you'll be fine. I still drink soda, I'm 21+1 and my baby is healthy. I just try to mix it up, half the time drink regular, the other half drink caffeine free.

Your baby doesn't want mountain dew!  It's loaded with caffeine and sugar.  

Probably your baby wants a glass of water with a nice lemon wedge instead.  ;D
