i love mountain dew, too, but i think it contains wayyyy too much caffeine. but it's just so satisfying! i would try to cut down on it a lot. plus it makes you get the jitters hehe!! but i understand that you love it, i do too

Why dont you buy the miniature cans of Mountain Dew at the grocery store? That would help you cut back on pop.

Small cans are a good idea! I have switched to caffeine free coke, so I can still have my fizzy treat but no caffeine and even that I limit my intake.

I drink iced tea every day and a soda once or twice a week. I try to stick to water though. I did give up coffee.

I am a Mountain Dew addict so this is the hardest thing to give up for me. I have been trying really hard to give it up before I get pregnant. I believe that if I ever drink it while I am pregnant then it will only be the caffeine free kind. If there are any questions of health risk of something then I don't do it to protect the baby. I really think caffeine free Mt. Dew is the safest way to go!! :->

I am drinking mt. dew. I tried to give up caffiene but it caused me to have really bad migraines. So my dr told me to have 1 or 2 and it will help with the headaches and not hurt the baby. You know caffiene only causes lower birth weight. However if you are worried about the caffiene they make a decaf mt. dew.

This may or may not work for you, but I was a Mt Dew nut and I decided to give up caffeine before I got Preg. for lots of reasons, one being that it irritates the bladder and I was getting lots of infections. I started drinking Sierra Mist, and now its been a long time without having Mt. Dew the Sierra Mist tastes a lot like I remember the Dew tasting like. Not near as intense of course, but it has worked for me. It gives me my fix without the caffeine. BTW, I feel a lot better not having to depend on caffeine. Once you wean yourself off of it, it is so much better. I would drink Caffeine free coke too except for the odd thing that since I have been preg. I have detested colored colas. I can only drink clear ones now. ;0)

OMG...I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!! IM SERIOUSELY ADDICTED AND IVE TRIED SO HARD TO CUT BACK OR STOP COMPLETELY BUT IT IS SO HARD!!! MT DEW IS THE BEST.

Where are you guys from??? I live in Ontario, and last time I drank a Mountain Dew, there was not caffiene in it. Maybe you should cross the border and buy the no-caffiene kind...

Melissa: We do have the decaff kind too, but it's not the same. It's a southern thing....you wouldn't understand.
