Drinking caffeine...

[kabey]

I know it's safe (within limits) but does it have any effect on your unborn baby?

I haven't had caffeine for a while, but last night and this morning I've had loads of Pepsi to drink. Normally I don't feel my baby move until the evening but I can feel movements now...

Has the caffeine woken her up?! Or is it just because I'm getting further along so obviously she's getting bigger?

the caffienes probably woken her up, i wouldnt worry, when i went to see midwife cos baby wasnt moving they asked what id tried to get her to move and when i said sugar and caffiene she agreed its a good way to get them to move.

I only dont drink it as i know when i came off it i had really bad headaches, and i had to start drinking half caff and then getting myslef off it totally. I know babies can be addicted to drugs etc when born and i didnt want to risk her coming out adicted to caffiene like i was.

One night of drinking pepsi wont hurt

Hiya,

As far as I know relative to coffee and tea coke/pepsi doesn't have as much caffeine in it. I only drink de-caf tea and coffee but do treat myself to a large glass of coca cola every now and then!

according to one of my brochures i got in my Bounty pack you can have 700 mg of caffine a day ok. I think a can of coke has 150 mg, so well below the maximum recommended (if you got the bounty pack it is the Hipp organic foods brochure).

I had two mouthfuls of coke last month, it was the best tasting coke i have ever had. And it was diet and normally i can't stand that!

sugar, coldness, and caffeine can wake baby up but don't worry! that doesn't matter!
I mean i wouldn't recommend drinking Pepsi non-stop all day but there's no harm in a little.
I know we're supposed to watch our caffeine intake but i'm a tea addict so i find that hard (i don't like decaf) so i do allow myself to still drink it.

I LOVE ice so my poor little bubba is constantly moving due to that!
