I was told if u drank lots of caffeine pre pregnancy your fine to have it while pregnant just limited. In my case pre pregnancy I was a red bull fanatic I'm talking 3 16oz a day or more n when I found out I was expecting I stopped drinking red bull but still have my coffee just switched to half calf. Ull be fine momma :)

Omg. Where are you from?? I've lived all over the US.. and only state I've lived in that said "pop" is my home state of Michigan. Lol some parts of Indiana say it too tho.. lol sorry I'm just fascinated! People here in Colorado say "soda" lol but try to limit how much pop your drinking... I switched to sprite and root beer because there is 0 caffeine.. but I still drink a tooooon of water after because I get badddd headache from the sugar if I dont.

If you are drinking enough water throughout your day you should be fine. Doctors recommend to cut down mostly.... Ino some ppl quit all together but I tried and had severe headaches from it. So I decided is not worth the stress on my baby. Caffeine will not harm your lil one of you are still drinking water :)

The amount your drinking sounds fine, it is bad to drink too much caffeine yes. You can drink around 200mg of caffeine a day, an average size cup of coffee contains about 130 mg and a can of pop contains around 40mg :)
