I have one just about every day and my husband does the same thing. My DR. said it was fine as long as you don't overdue it. I think they say you can have up to about 300mg a day??? There are about 36mg or so in a can of coke. Just be sure to be drinking lots of water as well and you will be fine!

You can get caffeine free Pepsi!

Try caffiene free sprite or sierra mist! I have been drinking both of those and also caffiene free ginger ale! Just stay away from diet pop, and as long as your dr says it's ok then I think your fine!

as long as you are not takin in more than 300mg a day you are a-ok hun!

How are you anyway? I only seen you about once a week - hows the pregnancy going for you? Hows the relationship? Hope all is well!!

one a day is fine. different experts have different opinions on a safe level of caffiene, anywhere between 200 and 500 mg a day. Seems like the most recent studies say between 200 and 300 mg is safe daily.

here is a site that will tell you how much is in a serving of whatever you are drinking:

Keller- just curious why you said stay away from diet pop. I drink lots of caffiene free diet coke...with docs approval...

Erin - i think its cuz of the diet part - some docs think that splenda is safer than that other stuff.

Aspartame isnt supposed to be good during pregnancy...I would assume that is what she is referring to.

May 20, 2008

yeah - thats the name of it! lol, couldnt for the life of me remember what it was! LOL!

Thx liane!!

May 20, 2008

Hmmm. According to the FDA aspartame and splenda are safe during pregnancy when used in moderation. Anyway, I know all doctors have different ways of practicing..thank goodness mine says its fine!

May 20, 2008

Exactly Erin!! It just depends on who you ask. I bought caffeine free Pepsi (which tastes the exact same as regular for the record) because my doctor told me absolutely no caffeine. Of course I still have some but in moderation!

May 20, 2008

my doc is pretty lax about that stuff too, he figures that anything in moderation is ok well, except heroin lol!

LOL Chels!
