I drank Dr. Pepper...

laurahastings · August 2011

I drank a Dr. Pepper this morning (breakfast of champions, I know) and now I feel so guitly. My little boy got REALLY active for about 30 minutes. I really wanted the little boost of caffeine.... eeeeek.

mrjk322 · August 2011

Glad I'm not alone

Just felt strange that he got SO active after drinking it. Like I had drugged him... poor little guy.

I pretty much drink caffiene once a day. My little guy is always quite active afterwords. It's nothing to be worried about or feel guilty over...

It's okay. I have a small cup of coffee every once in awhile if I slept horrible the night before Tongue Tied

Also it's probably the carbonation (SP) that made him get all riled up too because I have orange soda on occasions and it always get my LO all crazy and there is no caffeine in it.

I agree.. I buy IBC root beer and it has no caffine in it but my little man goes nuts. Its all about the carbonation.

I drink Diet Dr. Pepper every.single.day.

tnleigh · August 2011

I mostly try to avoid caffeine but when I do have it I don't feel guilty. One Dr. Pepper is fine. Your baby is probably active more from the sugar than the caffeine anyway. Mine goes nuts a few minutes after I have anything sweet.

I try to avoid caffeine even before I got preggo. But sometimes I crave for a coke.

This morning I wen starbucks had a white chocolate mocha de cafe, non fat milk and no whip. Baby was still active in my belly.

You will be fine. I drink coffee every morning and a soda every now and then.......Everyone looks at caffeine in different ways, no biggie!

ZooCrewMom · August 2011

You'll be just fine and so will you LO. Don't let one soda freak you out - you can have some caffine.

Fweetie · August 2011

I just had a medium cherry pepsi....so good!

varkeyr · August 2011

Relax I drank coffee and Cokes for every pregnancy but this one. This is my fifth. Usually both each and every day. They all turned out fine. This little guy makes me sick if I drink caffeine. Boy do I miss coffee and Coke.

LMeR01 · August 2011

I couldn't completely give up caffeinated drinks. I do go away from my pre-prego diet drinks, though. Although you are allowed to have some every day, I limit myself to 2-3 caffeinated a week.

Like PPs...LO is active when I drink anything...caffeinated or not!

shorteelaw · August 2011

Awwww don't feel guilty - one Dr. Pepper isn't going to hurt the baby - heck - even one or two Dr. Pepper's a day won't hurt. Your body goes through so much while pregnant - enjoy little things like this in moderation!

I drink caffeine every single day. I wouldn't be able to live without coke and sweet tea.

ERINPETERSON · August 2011

I wouldnt feel bad! I had a little chai tea with caffiene and felt a little guilty but its not like I drink a gallon of tea everyday

MsTammy · August 2011

I'm drinking one right now. Ain't no shame in my game.

xtencornfield · August 2011

Caffeine is fine in moderation. My doc says up to 300 mg (I think it's mg) per day.

NativeFloridian · August 2011

I wouldn't worry! We're allowed to have caffeine.

mooninlv · August 2011

it was probably from all the sugar not the caffeine! i drink a cup or two of coffee every day. it's fine.

MelinaIrby · August 2011

Don't feel too bad. Due to my cronic migrains and not being able to take what I normally would to make it ease up, my O.B. recomended caffeine at least once a day to keep them at bay.

RobotLegs · August 2011

Most doctors/literature say that up to 200mg a day is fine. A can of soda usually has less than 30mg of caffeine. Don't overreact.

Ditto, it keeps my headaches away.

35baby · August 2011

For me I cannot drink any caffine and I got sick for a whole week after giving up coffee. It just makes my baby so jumpy which then has me both feeling guilty and feeling uncomfortable. I love feeling the movements but they come so fast and sharp when I drink caffine so I stay away. Don't feel badly though that you needed the boost. A little cannot hurt I am sure. Good Luck to you.
