I wish energy drinks were safe during pregnancy

I am soooooo tired... It's taking all of my strength to stay awake at the office today.  If only rockstars and monsters were safe during pregnancy... :-/

  • Drink some coffee
  • Loading the player...
  • It's just not the same as those Monsters... I am currently drinking a Dr. Pepper to get me through the day.

    I drink about three red bulls a week.. though I dont drink coffee, or soda.. a little caffeine is no big deal, as long as youre not downing gallons of it, you and baby should be fine.

  • Don't take energy drinks even when you're not pregnant. They are so bad for you! Drink coke or Pepsi. Something that has some caffeine in it. I know those are also not good for you but better then "those could kill you energy drinks". Look at the studies. Or even have just a small coffee.
  • And for the record I know you're not drinking energy drinks during pregnancy. But they are highly dangerous. I know a girl who ended up in the hospital from drinking 2 monster drinks.
  • I drink about three red bulls a week.. though I dont drink coffee, or soda.. a little caffeine is no big deal, as long as youre not downing gallons of it, you and baby should be fine.

    There's other crap in Red Bulls besides caffeine that could be harmful, I would definitely talk to your doc about that.

  • This thread has gotten silly. A normal, heathy pregnancy should not have any problems from drinking a red bull, or any other energy drink 1-3 times during a week. To tell someone they could die or that it could "kill their baby" is just stupid.

    Was this girl mixing her monster with booze? Did she have a heart condition or was sensitive to caffine? Which size was the Monster? In a normal person with no health problems 320mg of caffine should not end up in the hospital. A moderate level of daily caffine is about 300mg. Please read the link below. https://www.uihealthcare.org/2column.aspx?id=237174

    I believe she did have an underlying condition. I used to drink them when I was in my early to mid 20's and they started giving me heart palpitations. So yeah, they're not for everybody. IMO they are far worse for you then any coffee or pop.
  • I wouldn't drink that stuff not pregnant. So much chemical junk.
  • For the record, I have not and will not have any energy drinks.  I'm not even considering it.  I'm just exhausted from having a 2 yr old and not being able to sleep and working like crazy. An energy drink just sounded good at the time to give me that boost to get through the day.
