The latest I heard is that one caff. beverage a day is a good guideline. If I have leaded coffee in the AM, I choose a soda in the PM that doesn't have caff. Most brands of root beer don't have caff. This has helped curb my cola fix.

I was getting headaches so frequently, that my doctor recommended having a little caffeine when one was coming on. So it can't be THAT bad for you!

A lot of caffiene can be bad from what I have heard. But, everything in moderation. Just limit your intake, like you are already doing and it is fine. I have heard from lots of people that just a few caffienated drinks a day is o.k.

Good because I can't stand caffeine free pepsi. Although Root Beer and Welches Grape are good and caffeine free but they're just not the same! Thanks!

During the first trimester I didn't have any coffee for one it made me sick in the morning and I was worried about miscarriage but now that I know everything is fine I have my 1 cup of coffee and when I am feeling tired I will have a coke because it wakes me up.

My doc prescribed a pill containing caffeine for my migraines during pregnancy, so it can't be that bad. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a real b___h when I haven't had any caffeine in a while.

Thankfully, everyone's comment on this page has been pretty normal. I've heard some people go off on women drinking caff -- they're like, you can deal without it for 9 months. Well, there are some days where I can't get thru the workday without at least some caffeine. I've found that my tolerance has gone down so I don't need as much. I'm not a coffee drinker and only drink soda on occas, so I drink caffeine enhanced water!

It is fine to drink 2 cups a day, from what I heard, I personally don't drink pop anymore, but I used to drink it more then water, and during my first pregnancy, I drank alot of pop, and my son is perfectly fine.

Well I figured I quit smoking three weeks into my pregnancy so a little pop won't kill me. I actually quit pop up till my 9th week of pregnancy and after that I just gave up. I was so sick that sometimes pop made my stomach settle down. I try to avoid it but when I feel sluggish and a headache coming on, I grab a Dew! Sometimes in the morning I'll have a cup of coffee to perk me up. I miss those perky mornings! I still can't get over how different I feel from when I had morning sickness. That was 8 weeks of hell! I got lucky and it quit around 10 wks but then the headaches took over. Yuck.

I think that one cup a day is fine. I have cut caffeine out in drinks but I do eat chocolate on occasion so I know that I am having some there. I used to hear the 4-5 cups a day is fine but I think that that might be a little high since I saw a study recently linking more than 100 mg a day to m/c early in pregnancy. Since we are all past that, everything in moderation is probably a good guideline.

I smoked and drank coffee until I found out I was pregnant. (4 days after missing my period) I quit smoking the minute I found out I was pregnant and I quit drinking coffee about a week later. Since finding out I am pregnant I now drink milk when I get up in the morning and I have cravings for coke. I never used to drink the stuff. I drink Coke about 3 times a week. And I also love Iced Tea and still drink that almost every day at least 32 ounces. But I make sure I drink plenty of water and every day I drink my milk in a tall gla__s with ice!!!
